Lyrics

One World
©Karen Beth 1996

I see the lights of your city
Shining over the sea
Against the backdrop of the desert hills
It looks beautiful to me
Though I know that I cannot enter
Past the guards of the military
In this troubled part of world

Ancient hatreds, centuries of strife
When will this madness end
When will we heal our lives
And I wish I could tell you
I had the answer my friend
For this troubled part of the world

We share the same sky, the same moon
the same flowers bloom
the same wind, the same rain
the same stars as the daylight ends
We are one world

I cannot hide from your sorrow
I cannot run from your pain
We see our people dying
in death they lie the same
And I wish that I could reach you
and try to make amends
in this troubled part of the world

We are one world, one sky, one moon, one planet
One world, one sky, one moon, one planet
One world, one sky, one moon, one planet
One world

One world, one sky, one moon, one planet
One world, one sky, one moon, one planet
One world, one sky, one moon, one planet
One World
One Planet, One World
One Planet, One World
