Under the Same Sun

Sands are scattered stories Footprints in the light Laughter on the salt air Drifting out of sight Close my eyes and listen Warmth upon my skin Every heart a rhythm Like the tide within We’re strangers in the daylight But standing side by side Different dreams along the shore One horizon wide Under the same sun We are breathing Under the same sky We stand Separate in our circles Together on this land Waves roll in and out Soft and slow Many lives, but one Under the same sun Children chase the water Fathers watch the sea Mothers rest in golden light Letting moments be Some are building castles Some just letting go Grains of sand together Moving with the flow Every voice a harmony Every silence song Different paths upon the shore But the tide moves on Under the same sun We are breathing Under the same sky We stand Separate in our circles Together on this land Waves roll in and out Soft and slow Many lives, but one Under the same sun There a mother and her daughter Walking into light Small hand held in quiet trust Future shining bright She lets the world unfold for her Lets her step ahead Hope in every footprint In the words unsaid Under the same sun We are breathing Under the same sky We rise Carrying one another In the light behind our eyes Waves may blur the lines But still we’re one Many hearts, one hope Under the same sun
