    Connection

    From We Are The Children
    Words & Music © Bob Reid 1993

    There are those whose motivation you may suspect
    There are those whose way of life you may not select
    And there are times when our lives will all intersect
    The seas divide the land and they also connect

    Connection, Connection
    Connection, Connection
    Oooh Connection

    Some sing soft while others like to loudly project
    Some aren’t sure when they sing just what to expect
    You’ve all your life for your song to perfect
    It’s harmony when our voices connect

    Connection, Connection
    Connection, Connection
    Oooh Connection

    Like the ocean and sand connect
    Like the wind and the wing
    Like the notes we sing
    Like life connects death and birth
    The roots connect the tree to the earth
    Dawn and Dusk connect day and night
    Like a string a tail connect to a kite
    Like one hand in another
    Sister and brother
    and each of us can have an effect
    I think we’re here just to connect

    Connection, Connection
    Connection, Connection
    Oooh Connection, Oooh Connection

    The air we breathe, and water showing signs of neglect
    And out of sight the garbage and the poisons collect
    We can’t just wait and leave it to the ones we elect
    To do what must be done we need to connect
