Lyrics
One Great Big Family
By Douglas E. Adair and Fred Barreto © 2004
Verse
We are one great big family
We?ve got to live together in harmony
In spite of our differences, it?s easy to see
We are one great big family
Chorus
We are sisters and brothers
Fathers and mothers
Strangers and friends
A chain without ends
We are united by blood
Why can?t we try to agree?
We are one great big family
Instrumental Break
Verse 2
Somos uma grande familia
Temos que conviver em harmonia
Apesar das diferencas, e facil de ver
Somos uma grande familia
Chorus
Somos irmas and irmaos
Do coracao
Rivais e amigos
Pelo vida unidos
Somos de um so sangue
Vamos tentar conversar
Somos uma grande familia
