We Are All Children of Mother Earth

When would we realize?
We are all children of Adam and Eve
Our enemies are our distant cousins
Alienated by ethnic and religious walls
Separated by linguistic and national borders
Divided by the history of holy wars

When would we become aware?
We all belong to the same race
The same tribe, the same family,
the human family
We all share
the same moon, the same sun,
the same mountains, the same valleys,
the same deserts, the same jungles,
the same winds, the same oceans

When would we recognize?
We are all children of mother earth
