Name: Human Beans
Duration: P00H03M56S
Description: I grew up in the days of the Civil Rights Movement. I lived through the days of Women's Rights, too. Today, equality for all genders is being fought for and won. That's a long trek through history for a girl born in the South in the 1950's! I keep hoping we are on the verge of rediscovering that we are all Human Beans and that every life matters and that this Earth is our Home.

lyrics

Here we all are on a world that's blue and round,
Under a sun that comes up and then goes down.
Many, many colors, shapes and sizes all are we, we're
All of the things that a rainbow needs to be!
Not a spit or spot... not a jit or jot... different but we're not!
We're the Human Family!

Mary's got a Mommy and a Daddy that are blue.
Joey's Dad is green and instead of one there's two.
Sally has a polka dotted auntie who's a clown.
Harry gets to live in both the country and the town.
Dani likes to hike. David calls her "Spike"
What's there not to like? We're the Human Family!

Starting from a single root's how every family grows,
Branching out and reaching out and blooming like a rose.
Flowers in a garden that's as big as history
Colors in the rainbow that's the human family
Reds and blues and greens,
peasants, kings and queens.
We're the Human Beans!

We're the Human Family!
