As you go through life you'll see

There is so much that we

Don't understand

And the only thing we know

Is things don't always go

The way we planned

But you'll see every day

That we'll never turn away

When it seems all your dreams come undone

We will stand by your side

Filled with hope and filled with pride

We are more than we are

We are one

Family family

We are one (du duh duh)

Family family

We are one (du duh duh)

If there's so much I must be

Can I still just be me

The way I am

Can I trust in my own heart

Or am I just one part

Of some big plan

Even those who are gone

Are with us as we go on

Your jouney has only begun

Tears of pain tears of joy

One thing nothing can't destroy

Is our pride deep inside

We are one

Family family

We are one (du duh duh)

Family family

We are one (du duh duh)

We are one

You and I

We are like the earth and sky

One family under the sun

All the wisdom to lead

All the courage that you need

You will find

When you see

We are one.
