“Things will never be the same, this is history . . .” Family Folk Band The Fairyflies perform a song written in 1992 by Lori R. Lopez, for the first time!

“THE WORLD IS ONE FAMILY embraces the diversity of life on this planet and how each family, large or small, is important . . . connected . . . part of the same family. The song contains messages about Conservation, about Life, and about Love. The primary theme is caring and helping each other.” ~ Lori R. Lopez

This live musical performance was recorded in 2020 and features the family trio singing and Lori playing guitar. They plan to keep recording and releasing original music written by Lori decades ago as well as new music.

The song lyrics can be found below and also published in POETIC REFLECTIONS: KEEP THE HEART OF A CHILD, a collection of verse by Lori R. Lopez.

The World Is One Family

(Words & Music By Lori Lopez —1992)

 

Stop and take a look around

Remember what you see

Things will never be the same

This is history

Unless we change the way we live

And make progress differently

We’re destroying in a lifetime

Work of centuries

 

Everybody needs a place

To be safe and roam

If we poison all the seas

The fish will have no home

If we take away the trees

Birds will disappear

When we blacken every sky, goodbye

We will not be here

 

Love each other

You gotta help your brother

The world is one family

Our hope is the family

So cherish the families

Large and small

 

It could be a hill of ants

Or squirrels in a tree

It could be a cave of bats

Or friends like you and me

 

Love each other

You gotta help your brother

The world is one family

Our hope is the family

Take care of the families

Large and small

 

We can make a difference

If we try

 

The future of the world

Is in our hands today

Unless we get involved

It’ll be too late

Don’t wait for someone else

To have a bigger heart

The world belongs to everyone

Let’s do our part!

 

Plant trees, recycle please

Those are Golden Rules

Promote clean industries

Instead of bombs build schools

The greatest heritage

That you can give a child

Is a better world to live in

But the greatest gift is life

 

Love each other

Child and mother

The world is one family

Our hope is the family

So cherish the families

Large and small

 

Love each other

Child and mother

The world is one family

Our hope is the family

Take care of the families

Large and small

 

We can make a difference

You and I

The world is one family . . .

The world is one family . . .

The world is one family.
