One Boat

ONE BOAT
Dennis James Boyle and Jane Ellen FitzGerald

CHORUS
All Gods children (all God’s children)
Are in one boat (we’re in together)
We need each other
If we’re ever gonna float (We need each other)

You can look to the East, you can dance in the West
Wonders never cease, my friends, when we live our life at His behest

CHORUS

You can slide in the North, you can ride in the South
Believe in all that He brings forth and you’ll never, ever go without

CHORUS

There’s the African, the Mexican, the coolest Phillipino
Asian, Indonesian, and Jesus, the Latino
Moses and Mohammed, and there’s the Dahli Lama
The French have Lourdes, and the Poles have Ostrabrama

CHORUS

Down here we got Communists and Socialists and freedom is competing
Democrats, Republicans, and parties are deceiving
But we can count on the truth that is revealing
God has always loved us even when we’re unappealing

CHORUS
CHORUS (slower)
