LYRICS

DEI DEI
Lets recognize our Diversity
DEI DEI
And realize Equal opportunity
DEI DEI
Embracing Inclusivity
DEI DEI
Among our unique human family

In the long long ago dream time
Within each earthly region
Migrating groups of human kind
Came to a resolution

For them to survive and to thrive
And to raise their children
They had to strive to somehow find
The ways to get along

DEI DEI
They recognized there were differences
DEI DEI
And realized they were equal relatives
DEI DEI
Embracing inclusivity
Belonging to one family

So they agreed to treat each other
As they wanted others to treat them
This became a global motto
Along all women and men

The Golden Rule of religions
And of all philosophy
A route for future generations
To Truth and Harmony

But some people craved more powers
Evil forces possessed their mind
To generate the hateful horrors
Of slavery and genocide

Now some invade other people’s territory
Killing and destroying ruthlessly
Some promote regional hegemony
And try to distort factual history

Some leaders push for racial supremacy
Dissing human rights and dignity
And can’t take opposition at all at all
So to slake their obsession they raise a wall

Of such abominations, many are not aware
Or feel favored and don’t really care
But to bow to oppression, or silenced by fear
Our rights and freedoms could disappear

DEI DEI
Our strength lies in Diversity
DEI DEI
Once we realize true Equity
DEI DEI
And embrace Inclusivity
DEI DEI
We must face up to the enemy
For the sake of Humanity.
