10. We’ve Got the Whole World In Our Hands, traditional folk song: Most people learn this song as “He’s got the whole world,” but I think that where it comes to kindness and understanding, it’s up to us, so “we’ve got the whole world…!”

10. We’ve Got the Whole World In Our Hands, traditional, arranged by Joanie Calem
We’ve got the whole world in our hands, (4x)
We’ve got people over here in our hands, we’ve got people over there in our hands,
We’ve got people everywhere in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got people who are beige in our hands, we’ve got people who are brown in our hands,
We’ve got people all around in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got people who are old in our hands, we’ve got people who are young in our hands,
We’ve got everyone in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got people who can’t hear in our hands, we’ve got people who can’t see in our hands,
We’ve got folks like you and me in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got people who are sad in our hands, we’ve got people who are scared in our hands,
We’ve got folks from here and there in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got people can’t read in our hands, we’ve got people who can’t talk in our hands,
We’ve got people who can’t walk in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got people who need homes in our hands, we’ve got people who need food in our hands,
We’ve got folks like me and you in our hands, we’ve got the whole world in our hands.
We’ve got the whole world in our hands, (4x)
We’ve got the whole world in our hands, (4x)
