Light-years ago we saw the promise
In a world free from hunger, free from pain
With all the time that’s now slipped through our hands
Are we any closer to that day? 

Do we really need to see the children crying?
Do we really want to feel their mother’s pain?
And, are the choices not right in front of us?
Will we do nothing again? 

We must understand the challenge lies before us
In a stewardship of life forever run
We are guardians of all of our children’s dreams
And all that live beneath a golden sun 

Oh, We Are One
Oh, We Are One 

We take our place on life’s stage front and center
Superior in purpose and design
We disregard a renaissance of wisdom
But arrogance can’t stand the test of time 

For there’s a message in the life that surrounds us
In voices that fall silent to the gun
In the cry of the eagle, the song of the whale
It lies in the eyes of our young 

Oh, We Are One
Oh, We Are One 

For all of us, a matter of survival
By each of us, so much more could be done
But our first steps will signal the arrival
Of a new age just begun! 

To live our lives with courage and compassion
To care for those we don’t yet understand
We seek out and embrace our new family
In the sea, air, and on the land 

For there’s a message in the life that surrounds us
That must not be laid silent by the gun
In the cry of the eagle, the song of the whale
It shines in the eyes, of our young
The innocent eyes, of the wild and the young 

Oh, We Are One
Oh, We Are One
Oh, We Are One
