Lyrics
Join hands
When you're standing on uneasy ground, and the loudest of voices around,
have the bigots and ignorants crowned
They will shout from the tops of their roofs, and they act upon lies and non-truths,
They deceive and accuse without proof
So lock the beasts back in their cages, Extinguish the fire that still rages
Lets Join hands, across our lands, put colour and creed to one side,
There's one road, where truth is told, together we can turn back the tide,
Good and evil is found in all races, there's smiles and there's tears on all faces,
There's right and there's wrong in all cases
But the one core behaviour is laughter, what else do we need for hereafter,
Our halls will be filled to the rafters
Then prejudice will be outdated, respect is all interrelated,
Chorus
So why do we choose one friend from another, just based on religion, a background, a colour, we're one family, all sisters and brothers, why can't we just try to regard one another,
It's easier to love and its better than hating, its great to move on and much better than waiting, a happier world, we'd all be creating, a life without fear, no discriminating
