I traveled the banks of the river of Jordan 
To find where it flows to the sea
I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry
I saw I was looking at me
I wanted to know if life had a purpose
And what it all means in the end
In the silence I listened to voices inside me 
And they told me again and again

There is only one river
There is only one sea
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
There is only one people
We are one in the same
We are all one spirit
We are all one name
We are the father, mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation
We are one, we are one, we are one

Every blade of grass on the mountain
Every drop in the sea
Every cry of a new-born baby
Every prayer to be free
Every hope at the end of a rainbow
Every song ever sung
Is a part of the family of woman and man
That means everyone

There is only one river
There is only one sea
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
We are only one people
We are one in the same
We are all one spirit
We are all one name
We are the father, mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation
We are one, we are one, we are one

We are only one river
We are only one sea
And it flows through you
And it flows through me
We are only one people
We are one in the same
We are all one spirit
We are all one name
We are the father, mother, daughter and son
From the dawn of creation
We are one, we are one, we are one
