See Each Other

Verse 1

We come from different towns and different sides of town,

Different kinds of stories, different ways we've been brought 'round.

Some of us have plenty, some are barely getting by,

But we all look up at the very same sky.

We speak a thousand languages, we pray in different ways,

We've walked through different nights and seen different kinds of days.

But underneath the labels, underneath the skin,

There's a heart that beats the same in every one of us within.

Chorus

We're one big family, underneath the sun,

Different roads we're traveling, but we're all the same ones.

Hand in hand, heart to heart,

We don't have to be worlds apart.

There's enough love for everyone,

Enough room beneath the morning sun.

If we can see each other as we really are,

We might find out we were never far.

We're one big family,

One big family,

One big family under God's big sky.

Verse 2

A child doesn't know the color of the hand that reaches out,

They don't know about the lines we draw or what they're supposed to doubt.

They just know a smile is a smile, and a hug is still a hug,

And everybody needs a little kindness now and then, because—

We've built so many fences, we've forgotten why they're there,

Turned neighbors into strangers when we really ought to care.

But it only takes a moment, just one person saying, "Hey,

I may not understand your world, but I'll meet you halfway."

Chorus

We're one big family, underneath the sun,

Different roads we're traveling, but we're all the same ones.

Hand in hand, heart to heart,

We don't have to be worlds apart.

There's enough love for everyone,

Enough room beneath the morning sun.

If we can see each other as we really are,

We might find out we were never far.

We're one big family,

One big family,

One big family under God's big sky.

Bridge

So let the old walls tumble down,

Let forgiveness roll across the ground.

Let every mother, every father, every daughter, every son

Remember that beneath it all,

We're all somebody's someone.

No matter where you're born,

No matter where you've been,

There's always room for mercy,

There's always room to begin.

Verse 3

So raise your voice in every country, every city, every town,

Let the sound of human kindness be the loudest thing around.

From the mountains to the oceans, from the deserts to the plains,

We can trade a little hatred for a whole lot more compassion again.

We don't have to think alike, we don't have to share the same dream,

We just have to understand that we're stronger as a team.

'Cause the world is getting smaller, and tomorrow's coming fast,

And the only way to make it is to leave nobody last.

Final Chorus

We're one big family, underneath the sun,

Different roads we're traveling, but we're all the same ones.

Hand in hand, heart to heart,

We don't have to be worlds apart.

There's enough love for everyone,

Enough room beneath the morning sun.

If we can see each other as we really are,

We might find out we were never far.

Tag / Outro

One heart, one world, one dream tonight,

Millions of stars, but they all shine bright.

Different names, different faces,

Different roads and different places—

But when the morning comes,

We're still one big family.

Yeah, we're one big family...

Underneath the same big sky.
