All of One Kind

If I made a wish or If I wanted to pray This is what I’d ask for. This is what I’d say: Give us the seasons The flowers and trees and A song to share. May we find peace And see what the other sees. We are all of one kind. I’ll walk in your shoes. I’ll sing in your key. Will you sing in mine and Will you walk with me? When we’re afraid We stand on our own But give me your arm And we won’t stand alone As we work together I’ll try to trust you. As we seek an answer Can you trust me too? Oceans and mountains, Above us only sky. The earth is where we live. We must share it, you and I. Give us the seasons The flowers and trees and A song to share. May we find peace And see what the other sees. We are all of one kind.

This is very good but there is one verse in particular that loses the rhythm. Oceans and mountains, above us the sky. The earth is our home, we must share it or die.

This is wonderful. I sang it in my head, but that means nothing because I'm tone deaf. I do though LOVE and enjoy music and lyrics. I can see this sung at church accompanied by guitars. It is simply beautiful and beautifully simple. CayCay
