In a bombed out room in Belfast a young boy is crying
He’s alone and he don’t understand
How the teachings of one Book built on love and understanding
Could cause the hurt and killing in his land
In an old part of Jerusalem two children are playing
They run and laugh the way that it should be
But one will wear the star and one will wear the crescent
They’ll grow up and change from friends to enemies, (but)
We are one, the flowers of one garden
We’re one, the leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down, and stand here together,
We are one family
In a Pakistani village a young boy on crutches
Takes a fall lies helplessly there
And he holds out his hand but no one will take it
They won’t touch him or the clothes that he wears
On a side street in Selma a black child is sitting
In a squad car protected from the whites
‘Cause they’re burning a cross to send her a message
And you can see the fear in her eyes
We are one, the flowers of one garden
We’re one, leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down, and stand here together,
We are one family
Ponder in our hearts how we were all created from the same dust, same dust
Searching we will find that the Spirit of the Age
Has come to find us, find us
We are one, the flowers of one garden
We’re one, leaves of one tree
Let the walls come down, and stand here together,
We are one family
