THE CREATION

Ah, Yee, Shehe!
We are your creation.
The earth is our mother.
The sun is our father.
The air is our sister.
The sea is our brother.

We are the island people
Molded from fire lava.
It is our big pleasure
To teach the world to laugh,
To teach the world to dance,
To teach the world to stand.
We are of one family!
We are the human beings.

We are the African people
Molded from Eden's clay.
It is our good pleasure
To teach the world to care,
To teach the world to be fair,
To teach the world to share.
We are of one family!
We are the human beings.

We are the Asian people
Forged from water and sand.
It is our honorable pleasure
To teach the world to ponder,
To teach the world to wonder,
To teach the world to listen.
We are of one family!
We are the human beings.

We are the European people
Spread throughout the world.
It is our great pleasure
To teach the world to reach,
To teach the world to rise,
To teach the world to reap.
We are of one family!
We are the human beings.

We are the Latin people
Shaped from adobe straw.
It is our humble pleasure
To teach the world to smile,
To teach the world to play,
To teach the world to pray.
We are of one family!
We are the human beings.

We are the Indigenous people
Part of all alive.
It is our honor
To give the world its heart,
To show the world its part,
To live the world as one.
We are of one family.
We are the human beings.

Ah! Yee, Shehe!
Beat the drum to start our heart.
Play the music to flow our blood.
Tickle passion to tweak our brain.
Give us birth to still the pain.
Ah! Yee, Shehe!
