Human Race 4:20
Words and music by Richard Mekdeci
I'm a member of the Human race
Ask me where I'm from I'll say "This human place."
Born here with a heart, a soul, a face,
I'm a member of the Human race.
Looking at a forest, all I see are trees;
Oaks and elms and sycamores, branches and leaves.
Every one is different, yet everyone's the same;
Planted in this earth, we give them all a common name.
In a universe so vast,
We must guarantee humanity will last.
I'm a member of the Human race.
Ask me where I'm from, I'll say, "This human place."
Born here with a heart, a soul, a face,
I'm a member of the Human race.
We have all made wishes on the same bright star.
We fight the same enemy in our human hearts.
We would come together if we realized
That we can see each other with more than just our eyes.
Don't think in terms of "them and us"
The future of our people is "In God we trust."
I'm a member of the Human race
Ask me where I'm from, I'll say, "This human place."
Born here with a heart, a soul, a face,
I'm a member of the Human race.
And as one family we'll stand
With the fate of our children's children in our hands.

Story Behind the Song:
Originally written in 1993 for the first "Race Unity Day" in Nashville which I co-hosted two years in a row. It was later recorded by the World Peace Choir to be sung at the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. Ironically, a terrorist threat closed down La Guardia and the W.P.C. never made it in.
