As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
[But you'll see every day]
[That we'll never turn away]
When it seems all your dreams come undone
[We will stand by your side]
[Filled with hope and filled with pride]
We are more than we are
We are one
If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?
[Even those who are gone]
[Are with us as we go on]
Your journey has only begun
[Tears of pain, tears of joy]
[One thing nothing can destroy]
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one
[We are one, you and I]
[We are like the earth and sky]
One family under the sun
[All the wisdom to lead]
[All the courage that you need]
You will find when you see
We are one
