(We Are All a Part of Everything)
Under one sky, there are oceans deep
Under one sky, there are mountains steep
Under one sky they are all a part of everything
Under one sky, there’s a baby’s cry
Under one sky, a mother’s lullabye
Under one sky we are all a part of everything
And when we look up from wherever we are
We see one sun, one moon
And a million billion trillion zillion stars
Under one sky
Under one sky, there is honey sweet
Under one sky, there’s enough to eat
Under one sky, it is all a part of everything
Under one sky, there are birds that sing
Under one sky, there are dreams with wings
Under one sky we are all a part of everything
And when we look up from wherever we are
We see one sun, one moon
And a million billion trillion zillion stars
Under one sky
