[00:00:05][music] [music] [music] [singing] [music] [music] >> We were born [singing] under different skies.

[00:00:45]Different flags and different lives.

[00:00:49]Different [music] prayers in different rooms.

[00:00:53]Different songs [music] beside our tombs.

[00:00:57]Some were raised where the sun shines.

[00:01:02]Some were hung across the line.

[00:01:05]>> [music] >> Some with books and open doors.

[00:01:10]Some with [music] boots on broken floors. But underneath the skin and [music] name, the blood runs warm, the fear burns same. [music] And every mother, [singing] every child has cried beneath these ancient skies.

[00:01:31]>> [music] >> We are children of the same dust.

[00:01:35]Breathe and borrow light.

[00:01:38]>> [music] >> Fighting over shadows in the middle of the night. [music] We are children of the same dust with the same heart [music] breaking through.

[00:01:54]No No border ever stopped the pain.

[00:01:58]No flag [music] made one soul more true.

[00:02:07]>> [music] >> They taught us maps before our names.

[00:02:13]Taught [music] us borders, taught us blame.

[00:02:17]Taught us who to fear and hate.

[00:02:21]>> [music] >> Who to bury, who to save. They dressed old [music] wounds in holy fire. Fed the crowds with tribal desire.

[00:02:33]Turned [music] the poor against the poor while kings kept counting more and more.

[00:02:41]But [music] every language asks for bread.

[00:02:46]Every nation mourns its dead.

[00:02:49]Every stranger at the door was someone's child the >> [music] >> night before.

[00:02:59]We are children of the same dust.

[00:03:03]Breathing borrowed light.

[00:03:06]>> [music] >> Fighting over shadows in the middle of the night.

[00:03:13]>> [music] >> We are children of the same dust >> [music] >> with the same heart breaking through.

[00:03:22]No border [music] ever stopped the pain.

[00:03:26]No flag made one soul more true.

[00:03:30]>> [music] >> If the earth could speak our names, [music] would it know our little claims?

[00:03:41]Would it care which [music] ground we walk, which god we killed each other for?

[00:03:48]>> [music] >> If If looked down tonight, would they see our wrong and right or [music] just a fragile human flame burning under [music] different names?

[00:04:05]We came from silence, blood, and rain.

[00:04:07]>> [music] >> From ancient dust and ancient pain.

[00:04:13]And all our empires, all [music] our pride, are footprints on a changing tide.

[00:04:23]Same dust [music] in the cradle, same dust in the grave. Same hands reaching upward, same [music] hearts trying to be saved. Same tears in the desert, same fear in the flood.

[00:04:35]Same dream [music] of tomorrow, same red river of blood. No east, no west, no chosen from no sacred walk and stand [music] up.

[00:04:51]We are children of the same dust.

[00:04:54][music] Breathing borrowed light. Too many [music] graves behind us, too many wars in sight. We are children of the same dust [music] with the same heartbreak through.

[00:05:09]If [music] one world is all we're given, then one world must be true.

[00:05:18]>> [music] >> So, lay down the flags for a moment of peace.

[00:05:23]Let the old [music] machines of hatred cease.

[00:05:27]Look in the eyes of the one you [music] fear and find yourself already there.

[00:05:36]For every kingdom >> [music] >> turns to rust.

[00:05:40]Every crown returns [music] to dust.

[00:05:44]And when the final winds come [music] through, they will not ask what side we knew.

[00:05:52]>> [music] >> Only this will remain [singing] of us.

[00:06:01]We were children, [music] children of the same dust.
