ONE NATION

Grandfather
We are praying to you now
Can you hear us calling
Show us a sign somehow

Polar ice is melting
Ocean waters heating fast
Wind and rain are telling us
This storm may be our last

Grandfather
There is no place left to go
Help us to remember
What we need to know

For all that we’ve discovered
There is still a missing link
We are all sisters and brothers
Let us stand and speak and think (as)

ONE NATION
ONE NATION
ONE NATION

Grandfather
Do we have the right to choose
Our life and breath are given
To unfold in gratitude

Here we are at crossroads
Can we take the greater path
See beyond the race and colors
Find a way to join our hands (as)

ONE NATION
ONE NATION
ONE NATION

Prepare the way – Eagle and the Condor
Prepare the way - Elephant and Mole
Prepare the way - Black, Red, White and Yellow

ONE NATION
