Words and Music by Phil Morrison (c) 1991
When we read the paper, watching news on TV
The world it seems is heading for disaster
War, crime, and racism is what we always see
Yet we claim it's harmony we're after
There's wide separation between the rich and poor
Hey... now's the time to change that situation
One thing we can do is open up the door
So every child can get an education
We're One Human Family
And all we want is peace
If only for our children
Disunity must cease
We're One Human Family
To care for one another
Regardless of your country
religion, class, or color
Look after the environment, eliminate pollution
Help stop the widespread burning of our trees
If we come together we'll find a solutiion
Instead of dumping plastic in our seas
People starve around the world, we still throw food away
Who cares; it's not our family or friend
But no person should suffer, at least that's what we say
Let's practice what we preach and not pretend
We're One Human Family
Our needs are much the same
We eat, sleep, work and play
No matter what's our name
We're One Human Family
There's no need for strife
We have too much in common
And that's a fact of life
We're One Human Family
All Sisters and Brothers
Appreciating differences
We don't believe in "others"
We're One Human Family
Whose lives are connected
The Earth is but One Country
We all must be respected.
We all must be respected.
