"One People" was written and recorded in 1989, around the time the Berlin Wall came down. It was meant to promote peace and unity—our 'oneness' and to acknowledge that as much as country, race, religion, and borders matter, there is something much greater and far more important: our very survival and spiritual evolution as a species, achieving world peace, and taking care of our planet and each other. I`m deeply honoured that the song went on to be used over and over again through the years by choirs, schools, peace rallies, and special events of all kinds. It became the beneficiary of three separate video

productions, and the lyrics were translated into seven languages . 

 

Special thanks to Norma Costa, Sabina Pettitt, Frances Litman and their teams for all their efforts and their belief in the songs` message. I`ve often called ‘One People’ the song that refuses to die because, sadly, the lyrics still seem to be relevant to what`s happening now in our world.

 

Dedicated to the people of Ukraine, Iran, and the oppressed everywhere.
