Lyrics
The Earth Is One Country
(Um Terra E So Pais)
Words and Music By:
Phil Morrison
The Earth is One Country if we'd only realize
With so many different nations - it's time to unify
The Earth is One Country and people 'round the world
Want the same things for their children - every boy and every girl
The Earth is One Country - one human family
With peace and justice as our goal - to live in harmony
The Earth is One Country - to care for one another
no matter your religion - your class or your color
Of course we love our sisters and brothers
And family unity is what we need ... but
Love is something we can share with others and
It will grow if we just plant the seed
The Earth is One Country - though borders may divide ... but
The heart knows no boundaries - it's how we feel inside
The Earth is One Country - within this universe ... and
We're proud of our great nation - but we're human beings first
The tribes of old grew into mighty nations
For unity they had to organize
Now we need a world civilization ... and
A universal language would be wise
The Earth Is One Country and there's no need for hate
With all our new technology we can communicate
The Earth Is One Country for peace let us unite
We're flowers of one garden in our Creator's sight
