Global Village
Shared Connections Beyond Borders

Though lands and tongues may vary far Beneath one sky shining bright as star In this small sphere by sea and land We share one home, like hand in hand
Our fates entwine in ways unseen The whole world market, global scene What harms one place will others touch All are in it, deep as such
Yet differences also join together Diversify this spinning weather Each culture offers gifts to share Our shared story, woven where
Respect each folkway that you greet With open mind and heart that beats For our kin on this lonely road Our roads cross more than once it’s showed
One dream unites the whole humankind Safe homes and nurtured youth, to find Full bellies, wise leaders near In compassion, each has peer
So appreciate what brings us close Though distance strains, we are not ghosts This shared earth asks our joined defense In fellowship make common sense
Unite in hopes that light the way And problems we can solve today By seeing in each other friend Looking out for lives without end
Our fates are linked both near and far As leaves on one great world-tree are Let understanding be our guide In our global village, side by side
