verse 1: 

In a corner light a lonely child would find 

A photograph of family who once was there 

Now the world has changed 

All that is left is a hand to beg for care 

Nations should unite - It's easy to recite 

But what does it mean if we really don't care? 

Do we have to fight 

And does it really matter who's Black or White? 

bridge: 

We pass on our fears to our children 

In life we reap what we all sow 

You can't pick up what others have planted 

Some things need a little time to grow 

chorus: 

We can live together (side by side) 

With our Brothers and Sisters (All WorldWide) 

To a loving place that's from above 

Can't hurry the harvest 

Till we learn to give love 

verse 2: 

Everything you do comes back in time to you 

So why do we still choose to look away 

Now it's up to you 

You can ignore or approve the things I say 

If we are not the same then tell me who's to blame 

And where is the difference beneath the skin 

Are we too blind to see 

We need to change the world we're living in 

bridge: 

We have learned our fears from our parents 

In life we choose the way we go 

Your life's like a fruit that is thriving 

Some things need a little time to grow 

CHORUS 

middle 8: 

The world is our only home - Let's get along 

The world is our only home - United we are strong 

bridge: 

We can learn to live with the others 

In life we live through highs and lows 

Every person's a Sister or Brother 

With love, all you need is time to grow
