One Drum, Many Voices (Tribute)

[Intro] Ancient echo On a modern street Same heartbeat In a different beat (hey) [Verse 1] Grandma say “Child, plant love like seed” Not just talk Make it daily deed Freedom not a flag It’s the way you feed The hungry soul first Then the body’s need We inherit old wounds Still we choose our creed Turn hurt into herbs Turn spite into reed Every color in the crowd Still the blood one shade If the table feels small Then we build more space [Chorus] One drum, many voices Same sun on all our skin Different names, different choices Same breath moving within We rise up, we don’t rise over We share ground, we don’t claim throne One love, not just a slogan It’s the way we make this world our home (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Teacher say “Don’t fear your mind” Read between the lines Don’t just sign, define Freedom not a rumor It’s a daily spine Stand straight, stay kind Still protect your time They divide us by borders By pay, by faith But a wall can’t win Against hands that embrace You can measure a country By the ones left out Or open the circle Turn the locked to loud [Chorus] One drum, many voices Same sun on all our skin Different names, different choices Same breath moving within We rise up, we don’t rise over We share ground, we don’t claim throne One love, not just a slogan It’s the way we make this world our home [Bridge] If my freedom costs your freedom Then that cost too high If my heaven needs your hell That’s a broken sky Real power is the courage Just to lift, not crush Real riches are the hearts You can hold in trust (yeah) [Chorus] One drum, many voices Same sun on all our skin Different names, different choices Same breath moving within We rise up, we don’t rise over We share ground, we don’t claim throne One love, not just a slogan It’s the way we make this world our home (one love) Yeah, it’s the way we make this world our home
