One Human Chorus
Different names for morning
The same sun on every face (hummmm)
One child laughs beside the ocean
One beneath a mountain sky
Different streets and different stories
Still the same light in their eyes
Every home has songs and questions
Every heart has known some rain
Every person wants to matter
Every person carries pain
We do not have to look the same
To recognize each other’s flame
Different languages One human song
Many roads But we all belong Side by side Let the whole
world know
When one heart rises We all can grow
Different stories One human song
Many voices
Singing hope along
Oh, oh
We all belong
Oh, oh One human song (oh-oh)
Respect begins with simple actions
Learn a name and say it right
Make a place beside the table
Let another bring their light
Peace is more than quiet borders
It is dignity each day
It is hearing every person And making room along the way
We do not have to lose our names
To warm our hands around one flame
Different languages One human song Many roads But we all belong
Side by side
Let the whole world know
When one heart rises We all can grow Different stories One human
song
Many voices
Singing hope along
Your joy matters Your grief matters
Your dream matters too
My home matters
Your home matters There is room for me and you
Peace in every language Sounds like dignity
Love becomes a future
When we practice humanity
Different languages One human song Many roads
And we all belong
Hand in hand
Let the whole world know
When one heart rises We all can grow Different stories One human
song
A billion voices
Singing hope along
Different names for morning The same sun
The same song (hummmm)
