Kin Under the Same Old Sun

Verse 1

Down at the county line the faces all look strange

But walk me back through the family tree and I'll show you the name

Way back at the garden gate where it all began

One dust of clay and a rib made the first woman and man

Pre-Chorus

So don't tell me you're a stranger

Don't tell me we don't share a line

Chorus

We're all kin under the same old sun

Sons and daughters of the very first one

Rich man and beggar on the same tired road

Every soul on earth got the same blood flowing through

We're all related thanks to Adam and Eve

Every single one of us you see

Verse 2

The banker in his collar stiff and the drifter in the rain

The schoolgirl with her Sunday dress and the outlaw bowed in shame

Different hands that pull the plow but a heartbeat that rings true

We're branches on the same old vine that grew from me and you

Pre-Chorus

So don't shake my hand and doubt it

We've been cousins all along

Chorus

We're all kin under the same old sun

Sons and daughters of the very first one

Rich man and beggar on the same tired road

Every soul on earth got the same blood flowing through

We're all related thanks to Adam and Eve

Every single one of us you see

Bridge

From the desert dunes to the northern snow

One story carries on

Learn to love your neighbor's face

'Cause his blood it ain't that wrong

Chorus

We're all kin under the same old sun

Sons and daughters of the very first one

Rich man and beggar on the same tired road

Every soul on earth got the same blood flowing through

We're all related thanks to Adam and Eve

Every single one of us you see
