ORIGINAL SONG
Verse 1:
We are formed to be born, we are born to be free
And we’re free to pursue what we’re destined to be!
Ev’ry life is a story, a tale to be told.
From our birth through our youth, we were meant to grow old!
Chorus 1:
Let them live, let them love, let them learn, let them grow.
Let them run in the wind, let them go where they’ll go!
Let them touch, let them feel, let them hear, let them see.
Let them be ev’ry thing they can be!
Let them live!
Verse 2:
We are shaped by God’s hand, given life by His breath.
Only God can command both our life and our death!
Ev’ry life has a purpose, a plan, a design.
Ev’ry child has a future, their moment in time!
Chorus 2:
Let them live, let them love, let them laugh, let them cry.
Let them dance ‘neath the sun. Let them dream and ask why!
Let them taste, let them touch, let them smell, let them hear.
Let them see, let them breathe, let them be!
Let them live!

Creados para nacer y tener libertad
Libres para alcanzar un destino y seguir
Cada vida es cuento, una historia que contar
Del nacer, juventud, y a una vejez llegar

Déjalos hoy correr, porque quieren llegar
Que toquen, que sientan que escuchen y vean

Déjalos hoy danzar, déjalos hoy soñar
Que toquen, que conozcan que respiren y sientan

TRANSLATION TO ENGLISH
Verse 1:
Created to be born, and have freedom
Free to reach a destiny and continue
Every life is a story, a tale to tell
From birth, to youth and an old age to get
Chorus 1:
Let them live, love and grow
Let them run, because they want to arrive
Make them touch, make them feel and see
That their dreams can be reached
Let them live
Verse 2:
We are God’s work, the breath of His being
He can give and take away our living
A destiny and a plan, a design by Him
For every little one who wants to be born

Let them live, laugh and cry
Let them dance, let them dream
Make them touch, make them know, make them breath and feel
That their dreams can be reached
Let them live
