lyrics

Ahh… Ooo-Ohh

If I could walk could walk in your shoes
Would I see the world as you do?
To me, it’s a beautiful place
To you, it’s a stormy race

Ahh… Oo-oo

But I want to understand what it means to be
Someone misunderstood for who he really is
We all need to be aligned and find a way
To love each other like we’re family

Each day, when you arise
You fear for your very own life
It’s not fair to live in this way
So we all need to make a change

But I want to understand what it means to be
Someone misunderstood for who he really is
We all need to be aligned and find a way
To love each other like we’re family

(Spoken Words)

So throw your hands in the air, and show us that you care
For us to be united, like humanity intended
Let there be no wars
Let there be no fighting
We are one world
Let us live in light!
