If I were a country without borders
I would change this old world order
And let you in...
I would be a tree in summer growing
A symbol of life flowing
My leaves and branches opening...
I call the image down to me
With each breath - a prayer I speak
Make us One Tribe...
One Tribe...
If I come to you
Will you come to me
With every language - sacred to you
If I were a boat upon the water
I would sail your sons and daughters
To the lands of the free...
I would grow a garden that was ours
A natural home of flowers
All in bloom eternally...
I call the image down to me
With each breath - a prayer I speak
Make us One Tribe...
One Tribe...
Heal with a human touch
Nothing else if left for us
Make us, be One Tribe...
Come in the dark when the night is lonely
Open your heart to something holy
Sing with the lark before the break of dawn...
If I come to you
Will you come to me
With every language - every creed
If I trust in you
Will you trust in me
So we could all be One Tribe...
I call the image down to me
With each breath - a prayer I speak
Make us One Tribe...
Heal with a human touch
Nothing else is left for us
Make us, be One Tribe...
If I come to you
Will you come to me
With every language - every creed
If I trust in you
Will you trust in me
So we could all be One Tribe...
One Tribe...
We'll all be One Tribe...
We'll all be One Tribe...
One Tribe...
We'll all be One Tribe...
One Tribe...
We'll all be One Tribe...
One Tribe...
