[Verse 1] He came here with a suitcase And a name I couldn't say Now he's laughing in the doorway Like he's lived here all his days Different streets, different stories Same rain falling down He learned the words to all our songs We learned his side of town [Pre-Chorus] They tell us there's a line Drawn somewhere in the dirt But I've never seen a border That could tell me what we're worth [Chorus] He's one of us You're one of us We're more than where we're from One of us All of us Nobody gets left behind [Verse 2] They put numbers on the people Turn a neighbour to a threat Tell you fear is something useful If you haven't lost it yet But I've shared a drink with strangers I've shared jokes with people new And every time I crossed that distance I found somebody like you [Pre-Chorus] They tell us who's a burden They tell us who's to blame But a human being's a human being Before you give them a name [Chorus] He's one of us You're one of us We're more than where we're from One of us All of us Nobody gets left behind [Bridge] No wall can make you better No flag can make you clean No border makes a person More human than me If you're frightened, come closer If you're lonely, come inside There's room around this table And there's nowhere left to hide [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] He's one of us You're one of us We're more than where we're from One of us All of us Nobody gets left behind One of us All of us Different stories, same blood One of us All of us That's enough That's enough [Outro] He came here as a stranger Now he's family to me Maybe that's the answer Maybe that's all we need
