Did I tell you that we are one?
Not Black, not White, just human
We see the beauty of nature
We feel the flicker of hope
The joys of family
The passion of love
Again I tell you that we are one
Not rich, not poor, just people
We feel the dread of disease
The piercing of pain
The frustration of helplessness
The clutch of desperation
Do you agree that we are one?
Not Christians, not Muslims, just believers
Whether we believe in Jesus,
or we believe in Mohammad,
or we believe in evolution,
or we believe in our gods
You need to know that we are one
Not man, not woman, just survivors
Striving to succeed
Seeking utopia
Wanting to be seen, to be heard
Counting the days, months, and years
Let me show you that we are one
Not sinners, not saints, just mortals
Wanting to be right
Wanting to do right
Pushing our agendas
And wondering if we are right
So let's focus on our oneness
Setting aside these artificial divides
When it's all said and done
It's always a story of birth and death
