In the heart of Europe, young voices rise,

Seeking truth beneath wide-open skies.

A call for knowledge, bright and clear,

To guide their steps, to face their fear.

Information flows, like rivers wide,

Equal access, no need to hide.

Through screens and papers, stories shared,

The future formed by those who care.

Constructive dialogue, a bridge we build,

A space for voices to be fulfilled.

From all walks of life, they gather strong,

Together shaping where we belong.

Youth in councils, youth in streets,

Their ideas form the pulse, the beat.

From village green to city square,

Their dreams and hopes are spoken there.

With every word, they start anew,

A future bright, a vision true.

Inclusion, equity, their guiding stars,

No voice too small, no dream too far.

Civic hearts that dare to dream,

To shape the world, to shift the stream.

Empowered, informed, they take the stage,

A new chapter in Europe’s page.

Crossing borders, breaking walls,

With every step, the future calls.

For youth and Europe, hand in hand,

Together we rise, together we stand.

Youth for Europe, yeah we stand tall,
Buildin' bridges, no borders, breakin’ walls,
Erasmus life, got the world on our mind,
Erasmus+, next level, we shine,

(Chorus)
Youth exchanges, knowledge on the flight,
Growin' stronger together, takin’ it worldwide,
Mobility for youth workers, trainin' on deck,
Developin’ the skills, gotta earn that respect.
