85. We Are Many – We Are One
This is the latest song I have written. It seems appropriate for September 11th to me because in this decade since the tragedy happened we have grown in divisiveness, become involved in two wars, and moved farther away from peace. My song is about many things. It’s about being one, all of us in the world. It’s about not being hateful to anyone for any reason—race, culture, religion, sexual orientation. It’s about continuing in the process of healing and consequently of loving.

We are many – we are one,
Sisters, brothers, daughters and sons,
We are different – we are same,
Each one called by sacred name.
—
How did it happen, Who planted fear?
Who drove the wedge that made some think
it could not be — so clear — that
—
We are many – we are one,
Sisters, brothers, daughters and sons,
We are different – we are same,
Each one called by sacred name.
—
Just keep on loving – And gentle be,
Keep circle open to make the room
for everyone — to see — that
—
We are many – we are one,
Sisters, brothers, daughters and sons,
We are different – we are same,
Each one called by sacred name.
