One Big Family :)

"One Big Family"
By Rukhasana Khan

Everyone walking on the face of the earth
Came from one woman and man
So why should we fight, we should be making peace
And doing all the good that we can.
One big family,
One big family,
Let’s live together in harmony,
We’re one big family.
Whether we’re from the north or south
From the east or west or in between
We all know what love is about
And it hurts when people are mean.
One big family,
One big family,
Let’s live together in harmony,
We’re one big family.

"One Big Family"
 By Maher Zain


I wonder why you and me fight each other
Don't you see the similarities between us?
Take a minute and see yourself in the mirror
You look like me: those eyes, lips - you can't deny

Have you thought about
Why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don't tell me it's by chance

Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
We're one big family
Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
Just one big family

It doesn't matter if you live far away from me
You feel I feel, you bleed I bleed, you cry and I cry
We sleep and dream
Sometimes we're sad, sometimes we're happy
You breathe I breathe
We love, walk, talk and we smile

Have you thought about
Why we look the same?
Why we feel the same?
Don't tell me it's by chance

Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
We're one big family
Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
Just one big family

I care about you
And I wish you could realise
There's no difference between us two
We're part of one family
No matter how far you are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one

Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
We're one big family
Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
Just one big family
