One People (C) Brenda MacIntyre 1991-2002
Lyrics & Composition by Brenda MacIntyre
** I debuted this song at a peace concert on Sept. 11, 1991. In response to Sept. 11, 2001, I reworked and recorded the song in early 2002.

Intro:
Don't you know
Don't you know that we are one people

Verse 1:
Many spirits gathered together
We need to be there for each other
But now we’re caught up in segregation

Everywhere there is starvation
People on a path to destruction
Poverty it breeds desperation

Pre-Chorus:
Celebration, oh, we are one people
Many generations, yeah, we are one people
One creation, oh, we are one people, yeah
Appreciation, give thanks, 'cause we are one people, everyone

Chorus:
Don’t you know that we are one people
And we were created equal
Strugglin' together for survival, one people
Don’t you know that we are one people
And we were created equal
Strugglin' together for survival, one people

Verse 2:
We were born to love one another
Created as sister and brother
Together we can change the situation

There’s no place for discrimination
A disgrace to civilization
We need to learn communication

Pre-Chorus:
Celebration, oh, we are one people
Many generations, yeah, we are one people
One creation, oh, we are one people, yeah
Appreciation, give thanks 'cause we are one people, everyone

Chorus:
Don’t you know that we are one people
And we were created equal
Strugglin' together for survival, one people
Don’t you know that we are one people
And we were created equal
Strugglin' together for survival, one people

Outro:
Yes, we are one people
We are one people
We are one people

Peace,
