LYRICS: WE ALL SING WITH THE SAME VOICE
(Sheppard Greene and J. Philip Miller)
My hair is black and red
My hair is yellow
My eyes are brown and green and blue
My name is Jack and Fred
My name's Amanda Sue
I'm called Kareem Abdul
My name is you
I live in southern France
I'm from a Texas ranch
I come from Mecca and Peru
I live across the street
In the mountains, on a beach
I come from everywhere
And my name is you
We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony
Sometimes I get mad and mean
Sometimes I feel happy
And when I want to cry, I do
When I'm by myself at night
I hold my teddy tight
Until the morning light
My name is you
I have sisters one, two, three
In my family there's just me
I've got one daddy
I've got two
Grandpa helps me cross the street
My cat walks on furry feet
I love my parakeet
My name is you
We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony
I like to run and climb
I like to sit and read
I like to watch my TV, too
And when it's time for bed
I like my stories read
"Sweet dreams" and "Love you" said
My name is you
We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony

Written by Charles Price Jones
1. I will make the darkness light before thee,
What is wrong I’ll make it right before thee,
All thy battles I will fight before thee,
And the high place I’ll bring down.
Refrain
When thou walkest by the way I’ll lead thee,
On the fatness of the land I’ll feed thee,
And a mansion in the sky I’ll deed thee,
And the high place I’ll bring down.
2. With an everlasting love I’ll love thee,
Though with trials deep and sore I’ll prove thee,
But there’s nothing that can hurt or move thee,
And the high place I’ll bring down. [Refrain]
3. Although Satan in his rage would tear thee,
And with all his winning arts would snare thee,
Even down to thine old age I’ll bear thee,
And the high place I’ll bring down. [Refrain]
4. I will make the darkness light before thee,
I will make the crooked straight before thee,
I will spread My wings protecting o’er thee,
And the high place I’ll bring down. [Refrain]
