What starts as one thing
Becomes another thing

Community thrives
In diversity

Hands reach in support
Across soil and generations

It grows with patience
It thrives in respect

Joy and laughter
Accompany this

It takes many cultures
To grow into new nations

There is more to unite
Than should divide

All humans share
The same DNA, yet

Rather than family
We see 'Enemy'

See your reflections
Within their teardrops

Foolish ones, listen
It is a trick to divide

Dividers gain control
Over each of us

Calloused greedy hearts
Seek discord for gain

And because they hate
Themselves

Children are bound
People are divided

Humanity is discarded
With the cry of "Other!"

It takes many cultures
Grown into new nations

Grown with patience
It thrives in respect

As one human family
See yourself reflected in their eyes

Listen to the beauty
When voices sing together

And join in
