Song N° 1 : FAIR WORLD 
lyrics by Aliane A. , Lea F. , Ambre D. , Jenny T. , Virginie M. , Pablo Z., Behedine K . , Victoria V . , Damien V. , Sebastien D. 2NDE CANADA ( Vancouver)
Imagine a world where humans live easily
From country to country, from city to city
Trying to escape this terrible poverty
That kills us from city to city
Men , women , children
Their rights are written
CHORUS:
Use your imagination
Stop discrimination
Watch the world in colours
Take my hand brothers !
Is there a world without poverty?
A world of solidarity ?
We should all be friendly
As we’re part of the same family
Join me ,
‘Cause we’re all free
CHORUS:
Use your imagination
Stop discrimination
Watch the world in colours
Take my hand brothers !
If anybody says
Something about you
You don’t have to say
“I want to be YOU !”
Don’t discriminate
You can’t manipulate
We belong to the same nation
Never change your education
CHORUS:
Use your imagination
Stop discrimination
Watch the world in colours
Take my hand brothers !
Freedom of expression is the base of the nation
You should respect the Universal Declaration
Free speech is the rule of peace
Privilege peace and forget the police
CHORUS:
We’re writing songs
To live peacefully
Don’t walk alone
Join me and get along
Protect your community
To live in safety
Song N°2 : Make it Right !
lyrics by Lucas A , Mael P, Mohamed E , Andrei L , Walid K
(2NDE UK London)
Jailed for committing a crime
It’s a violation of human rights
No one has a right to take somebody else’s life
Every one has a right to life
CHORUS:
Everybody should have protection in their nation
Everybody should live in safety in their country
You don’t have a perfect life
The world needs good vibes
It’s high time to stop crimes
There is no time to wait
It can be too late
We must change our common fate
Stop the world’s offence
Vote against death sentence
CHORUS:
Everybody should have protection in their nation
Everybody should live in safety in their country
You don’t have a perfect life
The world needs good vibes
It’s high time to stop crimes
Women are victims of discrimination
They have the right to abortion
Their human rights are violated
We have to stay united
Women are also human
They should be respected
Together we are stronger
Your gender doesn’t define your abilities
At work we are all a family
CHORUS:
Everybody should have protection in their nation
Everybody should live in safety in their country
You don’t have a perfect life
The world needs good vibes
It’s high time to stop crimes
Azza Saliman was persecuted by the government
She got a big punishment
She struggles for basic human rights
She has won her life’s fight
CHORUS:
Everybody should have protection in their nation
Everybody should live in safety in their country
You don’t have a perfect life
The world needs good vibes
It’s high time to stop crimes
Song N°3 : Together is Better
lyrics by Sabrina, Manon,Celine,Lilia, Lilou
(2NDE UK London)
A better place this world would be, you know ?
Together we can beat Human Rights abuses
That touch Lybia’ s refugees
War is separating families
And you’re fleeing your country
In order to get safety
CHORUS:
Wherever is your place
Let us not get separated
No matter what’s your race
Together we can live united
British people say you’re welcome!
So you can find freedom
We’re all born free and equal
Don’t hate or be brutal
CHORUS:
Everywhere you’ve got human rights
If you want them you don’t have to fight
The right to food and shelter
So let’s share them together
Women’s rights are abused world wide
They shouldn’t have to hide
Remember Mary’s story
So many women suffer from inequality
Pregnant in Ireland
Mary ’s got the right to live in a fair land
Willing to get an abortion
They should respect her decision
CHORUS:
Everywhere you’ve got human rights
If you want them you don’t have to fight
The right to food and shelter
So let’s share them together
Song N°4 : UDHR, alright ? !!!
lyrics by Rémy O , Gabrielle B, Cyril D, Noah D ( 2NDE USA Miami )
We should take discrimination seriously
Let’s stand in solidarity
When you make your decisions
Include human rights in your actions
Advise the world to sign petitions
You have a right to education
Chorus:
Human rights are necessary
For the freedom of everybody
Nobody can live without them
Anybody who violates them
Should have serious problems
Homosexuality is a global issue
Gay people should not be discriminated
LGBT rights should be respected
Homosexuals are wrongly accused
Their rights are being abused
Chorus:
Human rights are necessary
For the freedom of everybody
Nobody can live without them
Anybody who violates them
Should have serious problems
Kim Jong-Un isn’t worth being a leader
He is the worst serial killer
Thousands of people are political prisoners
In prison for expressing themselves
Chorus:
Human rights are necessary
For the freedom of everybody
Nobody can live without them
Anybody who violates them
Should have serious problems
Everybody has the right to take responsibility
Respect and equality
Are the key to human dignity
Fight for people’s liberty
We should all stand in Solidarity
Chorus:
Human rights are necessary
For the freedom of everybody
Nobody can live without them
Anybody who violates them
Should have serious problems
