United State

Look around at the faces in this world, Different colors, different stories unfurled, Yet beneath it all, the same heart beats, Each one with dreams, each one with needs. We all yearn for a place to call home, A voice to hear, a love to call our own, But we build walls where none should be, Dividing hearts, when we could be free. We are people, standing hand in hand, No race, no language, no border can withstand, When we choose love and place it above all, We become one people, shining in the light. The darkness grows when love is left behind, Be the voice that leads back the blind. Every cruelty is a choice we make, Every kindness is a bridge we take, Some may falter, some may turn away, But change begins if we act today. We've seen the worst, the pain we can impart, Brother against brother, tearing hearts apart, But I’ve also seen the power of a hand, Reaching out to heal, and to understand. We are people, standing hand in hand, No race, no language, no border can withstand, When we choose love and place it above all, We become one people, shining in the light. The darkness grows when love is left behind, Be the voice that leads back the blind. To those who’ve wandered, to those who stray, To those who hate, there’s another way. A brighter path, a gentler road, A lighter heart to share the load. Respect is strength, not a sign of fear, Empathy lifts us, brings us near, When we rise together, we reach new heights, A world of hope before our eyes. We are people, standing hand in hand, No race, no language, no border can withstand, When we choose love and put it above all, We become one people, shining in the light. The darkness grows when love is left behind, Be the voice that leads back the blind. We are people, we are one, And our journey has just begun.
