We've got to keep the promise
Made by our leaders
To eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our word be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
The promise of our global village
To achieve universal primary education
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our word be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
The promise of our heads of state
To promote gender equality and empower women
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our world be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
Because 189 countries said 'yes'
To reduce child mortality
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our world be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
The promise as the new millennium dawned
To improve maternal health
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our word be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
The promise of a better tomorrow
To combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our word be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
Of a world united by shared aspirations
To ensure environmental sustainability
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our world be our bond

We've got to keep the promise
Because the target is 2015
To develop a global partnership for development
As a millennium development goal
We've got to keep the promise
Let our word be our bond.
