We Stand Poem by Natasha McGee

THE WORLD IS CHANGING EVERYDAY
POVERTY IS AN ISSUE IN A MAJOR WAY
AIDS IS AN EPIDEMIC OF OUR TIME
NO MONEY, NO MEDICINE PEOPLE ARE DYING
WHEN WE STAND AS ONE WE CAN OVERCOME
PUT YOUR HANDS IN MINE AND I KNOW WE ARE ONE-WE CAN SHINE
HUMAN IS ME THAT SAYS HUMANITY
HUMAN IS ME THAT SAYS HUMANITY
WHEN THE WORLD CHANGED FOR ME
THE DAY I THOUGHT IT COULDN'T BE
WE VOWED TO NOT LET TERROR WIN
WE WOULD LIVE OUR LIFE TO THE VERY END
WE WOULD STAND AS ONE, WE WOULD OVERCOME
PUT YOUR HANDS IN MINE AND I KNOW WE ARE ONE, WE CAN SHINE
HUMAN IS ME THAT SAYS HUMANITY
HUMAN IS ME THAT SAYS HUMANITY
THE WORLD IS GRATEFUL AND WE HAVE THE FAITH
THAT MEN AND WOMEN CAN MAKE THE WORLD A SAFER PLACE
THE FREEDOM THAT THE TROOPS PROVIDES US EVERDAY
WHAT IT FEELS TO LIVE IN PEACE AND HARMONY
WHEN WE STAND AS ONE-WE CAN OVERCOME
PUT YOUR HAND IN MINE AND I KNOW THAT WE ARE ONE WE CAN SHINE
HUMAN IS ME AND THAT SAYS HUMANITY
HUMAN IS ME AND THAT SAYS HUMANITY
I KNOW THE WORLD COULD BE A SAFER PLACE
WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER FOR A BRIGHTER DAY
I KNOW THE WORLD BE A BETTER PLACE
WHEN WORK TOGETHER FOR A BRIGHTER DAY
WHEN WE STAND AS ONE-WE CAN OVERCOME
PUT YOUR HANDS IN MINE AND I KNOW THAT WE CAN SHINE
WHEN WE STAND AS ONE-WE CAN OVERCOME
PUT YOUR HANDS IN MINE AND I KNOW THAT WE CAN SHINE
WHEN WE STAND AS ONE WE CAN OVERCOME AND SHINE
