UNITED WE STAND

here we are again, life is but a circle
from the ground we were made and we will all eventually return
what is life but an endless circle, made interesting by those around us
we drive each other, spur each other on in this journey

we are social creatures, meant to be out in the world
we are not meant to be locked away, not meant to be separate from others
its the contact, the conversation, the confusion of life that drives us
and we receive all that through each other

we are footholds for each other, lifting points to climb higher
the higher we get the bigger risk, but oh what a view from up above
we bend down and grab each others hands so they can join us and see what we see
standing at the top, what a rush, what a thrill

but we cannot do it without each other, no one wants to make the climb alone
no one wants to reach the top with no one to share the view with
and yet we are so picky to chose who can join us for the climb
no, not you, you aren't pretty enough, you're not smart enough

let us join hands together, in unity
people of all skin tone, all languages, all backgrounds, all religions, all orientations
while we have our differences and we have our problems
we were not created to be alone, to be a separate people

what do we strive for, what do we yearn for?
we all just yearn for peace, we all just yearn for prosperity
can we not live together on this planet called earth
and realize that we are all the same, human

UNITED WE STAND
