(christopher ward/tim tickner/diana ross)
Are we not more than hunger and music
Are we not more than harlequins and horns
Are we not more than color and drums
Are we not more than anger and dance
Give me courage so I can spread it over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage
I walk these city streets see the people there
Look into the eyes of quiet despair
And the faces tell a story that words never can
And it falls to everyone of us to try and understand
One act of grace makes the world we walk a better place
To reach out for each other
If we hold on to each other, every day
We build walls of suspicion with bars of fears
Tell ourselves we'll be safe in here
I know more brings us together
First we got to tear down these walls within our hearts
We might be strangers, we can be friends
You and I we both need to let somebody in
To reach out for each other
If we hold on to each other, every day
Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth
We are secret rivers with shaking hips and crests
Come awake in our thunder so that our eyes can see behind trees
Give me courage so I can spread over my face and mouth
Give me courage, give me courage
Give me courage, give me courage
To reach out for each other
If we hold on to each other, every day
Gotta be there for each other
