We Are Human

We are human, yes indeed
We live, we die, we cry, we need

We are different but all the same 
And for that there is no shame or blame

We live this Earth we breathe its air
But most find it hard to share

We walk its paths, we drink its streams
We all take in the Sun’s warm beams

Yet there are those who constantly fight 
About who is wrong and who is right

Is there not more to our lives 
Than petty quarrels, grief, war, or strife?

We are different but all the same
And for that there is no shame or blame

We live this Earth, we breathe its air
But most find it hard to share

We walk its paths, we drink its streams
We all take in the sun’s warm beams

We are human, yes indeed
We live, we die, we cry, we need
