  • Think of all the hearts
    Beating in the world
    At the same time

    Think of all the faces
    And the stories they could tell
    At the same time

    Think of all the eyes
    Looking out into this world
    Trying to make some sense of what we see

    Think of all the ways we have of seeing
    Think of all the ways there are of being

    Think of all the children
    Being born into this world
    At the same time
    (At the same time)

    Feel your love surround them
    Through the years they'll need to grow
    At the same time
    (At the same time)

    Just think of all the hands
    That will be reaching for a dream
    Think of all the dreams that could come true

    Just if the hands we're reaching with
    Could come together
    Joining me and you

    When it comes to thinking of tomorrow
    We must protect our fragile destiny
    In this precious life, there's no time to borrow
    The time has come to be a family
    Oh-oh

    Think of all the love
    Pouring from our hearts
    At the same time
    (At the same time)

    Just think of all the light our love
    Can shine around this world
    At the same time
    The same time

    Just think what we've been given
    And then think what we could lose
    All of life is in our trembling hands

    It's time to overcome our fears
    And join to build a world that loves and understands

    It helps to think of all the hearts
    Beating in the world
    And hope for all the hearts
    Beating in the world

    There's a healing music in our hearts
    Beating in this world
    At the same time
    At the same time Writer/s: Ann Hampton Callaway

  • This Was The Song That We Played For Our Presence Daughter Natalia’s Baby Naming. from Belair, MarylandWhen you realize how many children are alone in this world, and how easy it is to give them love, a home and a future, this song encapsulates that moment in time. We are here to lift others up. No child should be left alone in this world.
