遠い昔から
受け継いだ声
名もない祈りが
風に残ってる
山に上り
海を渡る
大地を耕し
空を仰ぐ
どこから来て
何を信じるのか
違いは消さなくていい
君は君で
僕は僕
認め合い 出会いたい
歌おう
遠い記憶をつなぐ歌
違う言葉 違う祈り
それでも涙は 同じ温もり
歌おう
命から命へとつなぐ歌
One world, many people
違うからこそ 世界は美しい
優しさに民族は関係なかった
異国の人の愛に 生かされた朝
この地で暮らし この風に触れ
知らない誰かも 変わってゆく
肌の色も 神の名も
違いは消さなくていい
君は君で
僕は僕
認め合い 笑い合いたい
歌おう
母から子へとつなぐ歌
違う暮らし 違う歴史
それでも願いは きっと似ている
歌おう
争うための旗ではなく
One world, many people
互いを照らす 灯火として
民族は壁ではない
民族は武器でもない
この空に境界線はない
この風に国籍はない
歌おう
何千年の時をつなぐ歌
違う言葉 違う祈り
すべての声が 明日をつくる
歌おう
君と僕をつなぐ歌
One world, many people
違うままで 手を取り合おう
違うからこそ愛し合える
世界はひとつの歌になる
One world, many people
歌になる
One world, many people

Song of the People / Kneeking Records
Peoplehood is not meant to create division. It is the inheritance of culture, history, and prayer, passed from one generation to the next.
This song was inspired by the definitions of *people* found in three Japanese dictionaries, as well as by a personal experience.
While taking pride in being Japanese, I was deeply moved by the honesty and kindness of people from another country. That experience led me to realize that kindness knows no ethnicity. It also reminded me that we are shaped not only by our bloodlines or national borders, but also by the people we meet and the places where we live.
Built on a foundation of reggae, enriched with the warmth of soul and gospel, Song of the People celebrates the beauty of recognizing our differences rather than erasing them.
One world, many people.
Our differences make this world beautiful.
