Somos Vecinos

Chorus:
Somos vecinos, somos familia
Todos humanos, una gente unida
Somos hermanos, somos hermanas
Somos vecinos, todos juntos aqui

There is a border between what’s right and wrong
There is a border between unjust and fair
There is a border between kindness and cruelty
But there is no border between people who care

Somos vecinos (We are all neighbors)
Somos familia (We are all family)
Todos humanos (All of us human)
Una gente unida (A people united
Somos hermanos (We are all brothers)
Somos hermanas (We are all sisters)
Somos vecinos (We are all neighbors)
Todos juntos aqui (We are here, all of us together)

They work in the fields and care for our elders
They’re teachers and nannies, tellers in banks
They’re doctors and nurses, builders and welders
Part of our community, and we owe them our thanks
