I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan To find where it flows to the sea I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry And I saw I was looking at me I wanted to know if life had a purpose And what it all means in the end In the silence I listened to voices inside me And they told me again and again There is only one river there is only one sea And it flows through you and it flows through me There is only one people we are one and the same We are all one spirit we are all one name We are the father mother daughter and son From the dawn of creation we are one we are one we are one Well every blade of grass on the mountain Every drop in the sea Oh every cry of a newborn baby Every prayer to be free Every hope at the end of a rainbow Every song ever sung Is a part of the family of woman and man And that means everyone We are only one river we are only one sea And it flows through you and it flows through me We are only one people we are one and the same We are all one spirit we are all one name We are the father mother daughter and son From the dawn of creation we are one we are one We are one we are one We are only one river we are only one sea And it flows through you and it flows through me We are only one people we are one and the same We are all one spirit we are all one name We are the father mother daughter and son From the dawn of creation we are one we are one We are one we are one
