Lyrics

(verse 1 - double)
When we look around the world
When we read the papers
What we see is a deepening despair
So much fear and hurt
We don't even trust our neighbors
It's as if we've been instructed not to care

But still something in us stirs
Still we sense an invitation
A feeling that we cannot quite explain
It's a whisper of the heart
Not guilt or obligation
An awareness that deep down we're all the same

Lately the world seems headed for a painful fall
But still there's one way we will make it after all

(chorus)
Unite --- For compassion / For connection / For forgiveness
Unite --- For inspiration / Education / Peace and justice
Unite ---
Together we can make a better life for all of humankind
If you and I
Unite

(verse 2)
For the first time we know
That there is no separation
If it happens anywhere, it matters here
There's so much reason to hope
For a re-generation
If we hold that global vision crystal-clear

?Cause with the smallest kindness the healing starts
We can make a difference right where we are

(chorus)

(bridge)
There's a baby hungry
There's a mother thirsty
There's a man with AIDS and no doctor, no pills
There's a child left homeless
Without any hope at all... no hope at all
There's a village dying
There' s a drought unending
There's a country in relentless civil war
There's so many people
Oh, millions of people
Wondering what life is for
Who do not dare to dream anymore (...so)

(verse 3)
Now is the time
Let's hit the ground running
The world is crying out to try something new
Only hand in hand, we?ll find
That a brighter day is coming
This is the most important work we'll ever do

?Cause a gift of love is made to last
There's no greater giving than giving back

(chorus)

Unite --- Every man and / Every woman / Every child
Unite --- Every color / Every country / Every tribe
Unite --- It doesn't matter / who you are / or what you do
Unite --- Come along / and be a part / of something true
Unite ---
Together we can make a better life for all of humankind
If you and I
Unite
