Common Thread

Lyrics

In a many colored garden we are growing side by side We will rise all together, we will rise With the sun and rain upon us, not a row shall be denied We will rise all together, we will rise We will rise like the ocean We will rise like the sun We will rise all together, we will rise In our many colored fabrics made from strands of common thread We will rise all together, we will rise We can feed our grain to cattle and the rich man will be fed We will rise all together, we will rise Or we'll feed our grain to people so that millions will have bread We will rise all together, we will rise We will rise like the ocean We will rise like the sun We will rise all together, we will rise No more will there be hunger in these strands of common thread We will rise all together, we will rise In the cold of fear and hatred, clothed in dignity we stand We will rise all together, we will rise We have pieced this quilt together, linking hearts with stitching hands We will rise all together, we will rise We will rise like the ocean We will rise like the sun We will rise all together, we will rise We are spirits drawn together tightly by our common threads We will rise all together, we will rise From our children to our elders, from all nations we will rise We will rise all together, we will rise May respect for all our differences enhance our common ties We will rise all together, we will rise We will rise like the ocean We will rise like the sun We will rise all together, we will rise We will build a global family, strengthened by our common threads We will rise all together, we will rise We will rise all together, we will rise
