about

Overwhelmed by the fast pace of modern life, we often feel disconnected from one another and lonely in our struggles. Sometimes, the many voices in our minds make sunny days seem grey and we forget the importance of sharing kindness and embracing our differences. I hope this song, which celebrates cultural diversity and human connection, helps to uplift your spirit, fill your day with colour and remember that you are not alone: we are all connected, we are all one.

lyrics

Lyrics:
VERSE I
Worn out faces, tired expressions, eyes down,
Crowded places with empty spirits, ghost town,
Our lights are faded and our voices drowned out,
When did life get so complicated?
Earth used to be our holy playground.

CHORUS
We all are children
And we’ve lost direction
Help us find our way back to the light
Our hearts are broken
And longing for healing
Turn to colour all our black and white

VERSE II
When did we forget it’s sacred?
What are we doing to our precious home ground?
Long’s the time come to awaken
And turn our loveless actions around
It’s not in our nature to be so hateful
It’s time our walls are broken down
Our human race is ready for forgiveness
And for love to wear the crown

BRIDGE
As Nelson said and Gandhi preached
Love is the nature of our hearts
And as John imagined and Martin dreamed
One day the world will live as one
We are one

SPOKEN
You and I are infinitely growing and evolving
Born into different forms and bodies
Unaware of the many treasures we are holding
Behind our colour, culture and language we speak,
We all come from the same family tree
And underneath our different perceptions of the world
We're all angels on Earth.
So let’s start living together more consciously
As I am you and you are me
Let’s change our reality
And strip away the false layers of our identity
Our ancestors shared the same fate
Their stories told, their memories made
We realize we all share when we look at our DNA
Showing the same traces of race,
We come from the same place,
Are made up of the elements of space,
Born into this world to participate and co-create,
The paradise we want to live in
So let’s start living in unison.

CHORUS

FINALE
Euroa, Gwandalan, Yallambee, Pankina
Uhuru, Amani, Amani, Upendo
Kaihou, Heiwa, Ai, Yorokobi,
