It Is One Lyrics

They shot a man into the sky
The moon and stars became his bed
He saw the sun rise seven times
And when he came back down he said"It is one, it is one
One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
Whatever country you come from
It is one, it is one, it is one, it is one"They shot a man in Africa
At a time of rivalry and war
He had some dreams of a good life
But dreams aren't what they killed him forNow people stand themselves next to the righteous
And they believe the things they say are true
They speak in terms of what divides us
To justify the violence they doBut it is one, it is one
One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
Whatever country you come from
It is one, it is one, it is one, it is oneOne, the deep blue ocean

One, the endless sky
One, the purple mountains
One, you and IIt's not a world of our own choosing
We don't decide where we are born
This life is a battleground between right and wrong
One way or other we are tornAnd people stand themselves next to the righteous
And they believe the things they say are true
And speak in terms of what divides us
To justify the violence they doBut it is one, it is one
One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
Whatever country you come from
It is one, it is one, it is one, it is oneIt is one, it is one
It is one, it is oneOne, the purple mountains
One, the deep blue sea
One, all of creation
One, you and meOne, it is
One, it is
One, one
