Singing the Same Song with Different Voices
(I love watching the magic that happens when people from diverse backgrounds come together to work toward their dreams.)
We seem to be so different,
No two of us the same,
Yet we share a common purpose,
Though we may give it different names.
United in a hope that we can find a better way,
Trusting in each other
we work toward a better day.
CHORUS: We come to learn.
We come to teach.
We come to touch the dream
that’s within our reach.
When our hearts lead us
to make different choices
We’re singing the same song
with different voices.
And oh, the harmonies sound so sweet.
They make the music so much more complete.
When our hearts lead us
to make different choices
We’re singing the same song
with different voices.
With many different talents
we work toward our common goals.
In this web of relationships we all can find a role.
Each one brings a special gift
that someone surely needs.
Each one brings a hunger
that our time together feeds.
CHORUS:
Community sustains us
as it shapes the way we live.
It gives us not a doctrine,
but endless alternatives.
As seekers on a journey
we share memories we make
As we support each other
in a dance of give and take.
