De single is in het Engels, maar er is ook een Franse versie: La Chanson De Nadim.

UNICEF sponsorde het lied. De belangrijkste boodschap in het nummer was dat liefde de regel moet zijn voor de problemen van de wereld in plaats van oorlog en dat we moeten dromen dat dit mogelijk is.

De tekst en muziek werd geschreven door Jan van Zoelen en Hans van Hemert. Van Hemert produceerde het nummer ook. Het nummer werd gearrangeerd door Piet Souer.

Songtekst

I am Nadim
You know, my father is very far away
My mother told me he loves me very, very much
Why doesn't he come home and tell me so?
Like all the daddies of my friends at school
Mommie says he can't come home
She says he's dead

Such a little man, five years of age
Livin' in a world that's full of hate
Far too young to know what's right or wrong
Or to pay the price of what's going on

Love should rule the world
You and I can make this dream come true
Love should rule the world
That would be our answer to you

In the street he plays man fight a war
Don't they understand what life is for?
Meant to be raised and live in peace
But so different life for him would be

Love should rule the world
You and I can make this dream come true
Love should rule the world
That would be our answer to you

Mommie tells me daddy's always here with me
I want my daddy to come home
Mommie says he can't
She says he's dead

Love should rule the world
That would be our answer to you

When days are dark and nights are cold
You can reach out for his hand to hold
And what is part in worth will echo on
He will find he never left to be hound

Love should rule the world
You and I can make this dream come true
Love should rule the world
That would be our answer to you

Love should rule the world

You and I can make this dream come true
Love should rule the world
