We Are One
We are one
We are one though we are many
Like a tree with many branches
Some strong others weak
Some budding others dying
Some fruitfull others fruitless
Some green others growing brown
We are one though we are many
We are one
We are one
The air I breath you breath it too
The ground on which I tread you tread on it too
The rivers from which you drink,
I drink from them too
We are one though we are many
We are one.
We are one,
we are one though we speak different tongues
To the one up there our voices are like a song
If I hit you... will you not feel pain?
If I cut you... will you not bleed?
If you cut me... will my blood be yellow and cold?
See we are one though different
We are one.
We are one
Even in our diversity in our differences
We are not a mass of masslets that our thoughts are same
Each is unique, in intellect, in skill, in wisdom,in knowledge
We are one even though different
We are one.
We are one
So have a care for that sister who speaks another tongue
That brother who spots a different colour
That kid whose smile is worth a million bucks
But who cannot tell a banana from a mango
That woman who hawks sweets all hours of the day
Or the other one who runs her own company and drives herself
Even in diversity we are one so
Have some care.
We are one
None special than the other but this country
This home that houses us all
In all our shades, shapes,tongues
Is bigger than us all
To be able to live in peace
To be able to wake up in the morning
With the peace of mind that we'll make it
We need to remember we are one
And none is more special than the other
Mutual respect should be the first step
We always say peace love and unity well to uphold those values we must remember
To respect one another
We are one even in diversity
We are one.
