We Are One

In a bombed out room in belfast

A young boy is crying

He's alone and he don't understand

How the teachings of one book

Built on love and understanding

Could cause the hurt and killing in his land

In an old part of jerusalem

Two children are playing

They run and laugh the way it's meant to be

But one will wear the star

And one will wear the crescent

And they'll grow up and change from friends to enemies

Refrão:

But we are one

Flowers of one garden

We're one the leaves of one tree

Let the walls come down

And stand here together

We are one family

In a pakistani village

A young boy on crutches

Takes a fall and lies helplessly there

And he holds out his hand

But no one will take it

They won't touch him or the clothes that he wears

On a side street in selma

A black child is sitting

In a squad car protected from the whites

'cause they're burning a cross

To send her a message

And you can see the fear in her eyes

Ponder in our hearts

How we were all created

From the same dust, same dust

And searching we will find

That spirit of the age

Has come to find us, to find us

Refrão
