We Are All (My Closing Song 4 the 2008 Beijing Olympics)

I was inspired to write this song for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I was going to post it for the opening ceremony night but I decided to wait until the closing ceremony. It's so amazing to see all the countries in the world gather together it makes you wonder where conflicts come from.

LYRICS
JUST FOR A MOMENT, CAN WE FORGET ABOUT THE THINGS THAT KEEP US DIFFERENT
WE ARE ALL TRYING HARD BUT LIFE CAN TAKE IT'S TOLL
WE'RE ONLY HUMAN AND WE LIVE WITHIN OUR LIMITS
WE TRY TO BREAK THEM BUT IT'S NOT THE ONLY GOAL
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAN THIS


WE ARE ALL, WE ARE ALL, WE ARE ALL THE SAME
WE ARE ALL, WE ARE ALL, WE ARE ALL THE SAME
SO STAND UP TALL, RISE OR FALL, I'LL BE STANDING NEXT TO YOU
I'LL CHEER YOU ON, IN THIS RACE WE CALL OUR OWN
WE ARE ALL THE SAME\

JUST FOR A MOMENT, TAKE A STEP BACK AND SEE THE BEAUTY OF OUR SPIRIT
TRAGEDIES COME AND SHAKE THE GROUND THAT WE ALL STAND ON
THEY KNOCK US DOWN BUT STILL WE FIND A WAY TO LOVE
THE LINES ON OUR FACES TELL A STORY WE ALL KNOW

WE ARE STRONG BUT WE ARE FRAGILE YET THE SAME
THE ROAD IS LONG AND YET IT'S SHORT AS WE ALL TRY TO FIND OUR NAME
GIVEN CHANCES, CIRCUMSTANCES YOU'D BE MY FRIEND NO PRIDE NOR SHAME
CUZ WE ARE ALL THE SAME

that chorus would probably sound really cool with a big harmony, maybe even mesh other languages in the background, but that might be, too cluttered. A big harmony section would definitely sound really cool, though.
