A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing and music swinging
2) Sly & The Family Stone - Everyday People
(Stand! 1969)

We're all the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me
You know me and then
You can't figure out the bag I'm in
I am everyday people
3) The 5th Dimension - Aquarius - Let The Sunshine In (1969)
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
4) Curtis Mayfield, Keep On Keeping On (Roots, 1971)
Teach them to be strong, & when they are grown
They can proudly imply that we were an alright guy
For all the wrong now is right
This nation's people are now united as one
5) Marvin Gaye - What's Going On (1971)
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
6) Bill Withers - Lean on me (1973)
You just call on me brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony
Why can't we be friends?
8) Bee Gees stayin' alive (1977)
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
9) Bob Marley - One Love (Exodus, 1977)
One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children cryin'

I said: "No matter, no matter what color"
You are still my brother
Everybody wants to live together
Why can't we be together

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
so let's start giving
13) Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers - Brothers & Sisters (1993)
Some are black and brown
Others white and light
That's all the difference
I can remember
But this we must realize
We are all brothers and sisters
14) Beastie Boys Bodhisattva Vow (Ill Communication 1994)
For the sake of all beings I seek
The enlightened mind that I know I'll reap
Respect to Shantideva and all the others
Who brought down the Dharma for the sisters and brothers
15) Angelique Kidjo - "We Are One" 2014
Or am I just one part Of some big plan? Your journey has only begun Is our pride, deep inside We are one Family, family, we are one One family under the sun You will find when you see
16) Mystic - Universal Brotherhood (2021)
It's often been said that, great discoveries
When they come into the lives of men
Affect their attitudes towards men's place in life
Men's views, his philosophy
And there's surely some truth in it
