WE'RE ONE HUMAN FAMILY

 

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.
