"Sing" & "I Have A Dream"

Any ABBA fans here will know the song "I Have A Dream" and perhaps have noticed the striking similarities between it and the Carpenters hit "Sing"

Both are pleasant songs that featured a children choir. On ABBA's live DVD (and also live album) from Wembley Arena in London from 1979, they got a children's choir on stage with them and there's also a backstage bonus of the rehearsal which is almost identical to the Carpenters with "Sing" in Japan.

Were ABBA inspired and influenced by the Carpenters? Any thoughts?

Here is "I Have A Dream" live in London with the rehearsal bonus. What do you think?
