“Things will never be the same, this is history . . .” Family Folk Band The Fairyflies perform a song written in 1992 by Lori R. Lopez, for the first time!
“THE WORLD IS ONE FAMILY embraces the diversity of life on this planet and how each family, large or small, is important . . . connected . . . part of the same family. The song contains messages about Conservation, about Life, and about Love. The primary theme is caring and helping each other.” ~ Lori R. Lopez
This live musical performance was recorded in 2020 and features the family trio singing and Lori playing guitar. They plan to keep recording and releasing original music written by Lori decades ago as well as new music.
The song lyrics can be found below and also published in POETIC REFLECTIONS: KEEP THE HEART OF A CHILD, a collection of verse by Lori R. Lopez.
The World Is One Family
(Words & Music By Lori Lopez —1992)
Stop and take a look around
Remember what you see
Things will never be the same
This is history
Unless we change the way we live
And make progress differently
We’re destroying in a lifetime
Work of centuries
Everybody needs a place
To be safe and roam
If we poison all the seas
The fish will have no home
If we take away the trees
Birds will disappear
When we blacken every sky, goodbye
We will not be here
Love each other
You gotta help your brother
The world is one family
Our hope is the family
So cherish the families
Large and small
It could be a hill of ants
Or squirrels in a tree
It could be a cave of bats
Or friends like you and me
Love each other
You gotta help your brother
The world is one family
Our hope is the family
Take care of the families
Large and small
We can make a difference
If we try
The future of the world
Is in our hands today
Unless we get involved
It’ll be too late
Don’t wait for someone else
To have a bigger heart
The world belongs to everyone
Let’s do our part!
Plant trees, recycle please
Those are Golden Rules
Promote clean industries
Instead of bombs build schools
The greatest heritage
That you can give a child
Is a better world to live in
But the greatest gift is life
Love each other
Child and mother
The world is one family
Our hope is the family
So cherish the families
Large and small
Love each other
Child and mother
The world is one family
Our hope is the family
Take care of the families
Large and small
We can make a difference
You and I
The world is one family . . .
The world is one family . . .
The world is one family.
