Hear,
Sisters! Come, Brothers!
See, there is much that we share!
The joy of community - the pain of loneliness
The joy of acceptance - the pain of rejection
The joy of freedom - the pain of restriction
The joy of opening - the pain of hiding
The joy of health - the pain of sickness
The joy of life - the pain of death
You
see, Sisters? You hear, Brothers?
Come, let us share even more
Let us dance; let us sing;
Let us explore the ties that bind us
Let us share music, the universal voice
Let us share understanding
Each of the other
Each of us a sister
Each of us a brother
