Lyrics: This is a great song for making up your own verses!
(Chorus:)
We’re all a family under one sky, we’re a family under one sky
We’re all a family under one sky, we’re a family under one sky
We’re sisters (we’re sisters), we’re brothers (we’re brothers)
We’re fathers (we’re fathers), and we’re mothers, too (we’re mothers, too)
We’re grandmas (we’re grandmas), we’re grandpas (we’re grandpas)
We’re friends (we’re friends), and we’re neighbors, too (we’re neighbors, too)
(Chorus)
We’re plumbers, we’re doctors, we’re nurses, and we’re builders, too
We’re dancers, we’re astronauts, we’re teachers, and students, too
(Chorus)
We’re lions, we’re kitty-cats, we’re puppy-dogs, and we’re sheep, too
We’re horses, we’re cows, we’re snakes, and we’re pigs, too
(Chorus)
We’re American, we’re Russian, we’re Israeli, and Egyptian, too
We’re Mexican, South African, we’re Irish, and we’re Chinese
(Chorus)
We’re happy, we’re sad, we’re silly, and we’re tender, too
We’re angry, we’re frightened, we’re curious, and we’re really excited!
(Chorus)
(Chorus:)
We’re all a family under one sky, we’re a family under one sky
We’re all a family under one sky, we’re a family under one sky
We’re sisters (we’re sisters), we’re brothers (we’re brothers)
We’re fathers (we’re fathers), and we’re mothers, too (we’re mothers, too)
We’re grandmas (we’re grandmas), we’re grandpas (we’re grandpas)
We’re friends (we’re friends), and we’re neighbors, too (we’re neighbors, too)
(Chorus)
We’re plumbers, we’re doctors, we’re nurses, and we’re builders, too
We’re dancers, we’re astronauts, we’re teachers, and students, too
(Chorus)
We’re lions, we’re kitty-cats, we’re puppy-dogs, and we’re sheep, too
We’re horses, we’re cows, we’re snakes, and we’re pigs, too
(Chorus)
We’re American, we’re Russian, we’re Israeli, and Egyptian, too
We’re Mexican, South African, we’re Irish, and we’re Chinese
(Chorus)
We’re happy, we’re sad, we’re silly, and we’re tender, too
We’re angry, we’re frightened, we’re curious, and we’re really excited!
(Chorus)
