One Heart - A Song

One heart that beats
One tear that falls
One heart that cries
One soul that dies.

Can you feel when one heart is crying?
Can you feel when a soul is in pain?
Miles away tucked in a corner
People ache, people pain
Can you feel their heartache?
Can you feel their pain?

We may be some billion people
We may live in nations wide
But our hearts still ache for sorrow
And in pain our hearts do cry
Through the differences among us
There is still one thread that binds
In the myriad faces of people
There is only just one smile.

Join hands for the peace of tomorrow
Join hearts so they’ll beat as one
Learn to care for tears of the others
Learn to love other humans as brothers
So the earth can be our shelter
And together we can call it home.
