From ancient days, the voices carry on
Silent prayers still linger in the wind
Climbing mountains, crossing endless seas
Tilling the earth beneath the open sky
Where we're from, or what we choose to believe
Doesn't have to keep us apart
You are you, and I am me
Let us meet with open hearts
Sing it out
A song that carries memories through time
Different languages, different prayers rise
Yet every tear is warmed by the same love
Sing it out
A song passed from one life to the next
One world, many people
It's our differences that make this world so beautiful
Kindness never asks where we're from
A stranger's love once carried me through the night
Living here beneath the very same sky
Even strangers' hearts can learn to change
Different skin, different names for God
Don't ever have to keep us apart
You are you, and I am me
Let us laugh and walk as one
Sing it out
A song from every mother to her child
Different stories, different histories
Yet every hope is closer than we know
Sing it out
Not a banner raised for war or pride
One world, many people
May we become the light that guides each other home
Our heritage is never a wall
Our heritage is never a weapon
The sky has never drawn a border
The wind has never carried a passport
Sing it out
A song that echoes through a thousand years
Different languages, different prayers rise
Every single voice is shaping tomorrow
Sing it out
The song that joins your heart with mine
One world, many people
Still different, still hand in hand
Because we're different, love can grow
Until the whole world sings as one
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.
