One Family Or Familia Moja

When the world began we started as one. One family, one people, that’s how it was done. Jealously and pride drove us apart, Great nations then fell, the horse and the cart. Hatred and murder sorrow and pain, Even today blood falls like rain… When the world began we started as one. One family, one people, that’s how it was done. Was it a name or the color of your skin? Was it your nation? Where do I begin? You may sound strange or look different to me… Look past these things, lets live peacefully. When the world began we started as one. One family, one people, that’s how it was done. The Jeanie in the bottle one wish gave to me, World peace was one answer but I said, “One family”! A people full of love, with out hatred or fear. Though we’re different lets all draw near… When the world began we started as one. One family, one people, that’s how it was done.
