Jotun's Corporate Song
We Are The Penguins
There comes a time
When the penguins are everywhere
And the world must come together as one
We are all a part of
The penguin family
Within… the greatest company
We must go on
Be better day by day
Understand…this way we can’t go wrong
There’s a vision we share
That’s everyone of us
We are the basis of success
Chorus:
*We are the world, we are the penguins
We are the ones to make a brighter day with all our colours
There's a chance you may find
New friends along the way
It's true we make a better day,
just you and me*
Show to the world that a penguin always cares
Where we are it does not mean a thing
The goals we’re fighting for are everywhere the same
And so… we all keep Jotun in the lead
We are the world, we are the penguins
We are the ones to make a brighter day with all our colours
There’s a chance you may find
New friends along the way
It’s true we make a better day, just you and me
When we are down sometimes, feeling beaten and alone
And it’s all too clear we get nowhere on our own
Woh let’s realize … That a change can only come …
When we ...stand together as one ...
(Repeat 4x chorus till song end)
