We might not fit in the family car
But we live in the same big home
We might not eat the very same meals
But we share where they all come from
We're all a little different
Yet we're all a lot the same
We all wake up under one bright sun
Drift to sleep with our silver moon
CHORUS: One World Family
Hands across the seas
Mothers Fathers Sisters Brothers
Joining hands and hearts...to sing
One World Family
Joining in a dream
Lift your voice, so we can hear
The part you have to sing
The barber works on heads all day
While the farmer plows the fields
Astronomers are counting stars
We all have days to fill
We're all a little different
Yet we're all a lot the same
Not what you say, not what you do
It's the light that shines inside of you
Chorus
We speak a hundred languages
We live in many lands
We're all different shades of the same color
And we finally understand
We're all a little different
Yet we're all a lot the same
By looking deep inside ourselves
We find we know our friends...quite well
Chorus
We're growing with this family tree
It stands so strong and tall
A special place for you and me
Without us it will fall
We're all a little different
Wonderful in our own way
This tree that's lived ten thousand years
Depends on how we sing today
Chorus
Our songs for children about peace and justice, resolving conflicts, and celebrating our global family are more important than ever in these troubled times. These Peace Resources are intended to help us all move forward with hope and tools for song and action as we work together to build a healthier, more peaceful world.
