Oh, we all are one, we are the same person
I'll be you, you'll be me (Oh, yeah)
We all are one, same universal world
I'll be you, you'll be me

No matter where we are born, we are human beings
The same chemistry where emotions and feelings
All corresponding in love compatible

You can't get around it, no matter how hard you try
You better believe it
And if you should find out that you are no different than I

We all are one (We all), we are the same person (Same person)
I'll be you, you'll be me (I'll be me, you'll be you)
We all are one (We all), same universal world
I'll be you, you'll be me

The only difference I can see is in the conscience
And the shade of our skin doesn't matter

And the feelings that make all those faces always renew
So true, so true
And would you believe that I have all those same feelings too
The same as you

Look at the children, they're having fun with no regards to why
They all look different but deep inside
Their feelings of love they don't hide
They don't hide, they don't hide, they don't hide

We all are one, we are the same person
I'll be you, you'll be me (Oh, yeah)
We all are one, same universal world
I'll be you, you'll be me
