People, many branches of a tree
How much longer will it be before we reach as one?
Torn apart and divided by the colors that we see
Refusing to believe we’re all in the same family
God knows that every flower in the garden’s not the same
But we all got roots, and we all need the rain
So people take a chance on each other and see
What a beautiful land this might be
Preacher, politician, businessman
All the power’s in your hands, so let a stranger in
Have you set a place at the table for a neighbor
Who is not your kin
And doesn’t share the creed you believe in, no
God knows the same light shines from many lamps
But there’s a truth we share beyond any circumstance
So people take a chance on each other and see
What a beautiful land this might be
God knows this old world can’t stand for long
But if we still got love, then we might just carry on
So people take a chance on each other and see
What a beautiful land this might be
Oh, what a beautiful land this might be
Oh, what a beautiful land
What a beautiful land
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, oh, oh
