We All Are One
Take a long trip to India
Just a regular vacation
It was for dewali time
Festival of lights celebration
So I help set the dewas
Throw the oil and make it light
And they all said to me
Brother you are a Hindu tonight
Then I went to Iraq
To visit my best friends
They both were well dress
In the best Islamic trends
Was the end of Ramadan?
The plan a feast after we pray
Then they all said to me
Brother you are a Muslim today
They stand at the wall
In the holy city of Jerusalem
Should be a place of peace
But it got so many problems
It’s the eight nights of Hanukah
So I help light the candles too
And they all said to me
Brother today you are a Jew
Back in New York now
Celebrating Christmas time
By my Christian friends home
Have cake and wine
Carry gift s for the kids
Helping with the decoration
And they all said to me
Today you are a Christian
And as I drove home
I think of the people I met
And the memories they give
I will never forget
Why can’t we find peace?
I come to one conclusion
Its the Governments wants
The world to live in confusion
If we respect each other
Then the world will live as one
And from the kindness of our hearts
The hope of peace will be born
So let’s start with our self
And spread it down the line
I think we can do it
Changing one heart at a time
