Solidarity

Solidarity means together we stand
Always ready to lend you a hand

If you’re in distress we’re there for you
It is Life’s own law, it’s not something new

Hurricane or flood, earthquake or drought
Or the problems that people’s own hands may have wrought

Solidarity means not just grieving for you
It’s doing what we can to give help to you

It could be us tomorrow, if it’s you today
For troubles can come anybody’s way

Blessed are those who remember this fact
And live their lives according to that

Black, white, brown, yellow, colors of life
Diversity is what really gives our lives spice

Yet, despite being different, we’re all the same
Just look at the color that runs through our veins

Our hearts, our bodies, all of us feel pain
And to cry for others is to be humane

Compassion, this feeling - it runs so deep
If one part hurts, the whole body can’t sleep

Helping each other gives meaning to life
It’s the kind of goal for which we should strive

Because Life’s about more than just me and you
Let’s put in our best, there’s so much we can do

Solidarity means strength, it should be our aim
Without it humanity would be put to shame

So let’s join hands, there’s work for everyone
There’s no better way of getting things done.
