In this episode, we explore the profound impact of music as it is passed down through families and woven into the fabric of communities. We delve into personal stories of how musical traditions are preserved and transformed, highlighting the powerful role music plays in shaping identities and fostering connections. From family sing-alongs to community choirs, we uncover the ways in which music can inspire change, heal wounds, and bring people together. Join us as we celebrate the timeless melodies that resonate through generations and the transformative power of music in our lives.

Lyrics:
Here we are... We are
Here we are... We are

Listen to this heartbeat dancin’ out the door!
We are like the ocean; we will rise and fall!
What of those with mo-oney, but-still-feel-so poor?
Life is so much richer when I help you smile some more

Look at those around you
What of those, lying on the ground?
Put your blinds behind you
We are not in-vi-si-ble... nowww!

Here we are... We are
(Trust myself not to get in my way)
Here we are... We are
(I won’t get in my way!)

Can you see this bright light, shining in our eyes
We are like a fire burning- burning through the night
What of those with so much but still feel unsure
Life feels so much richer when I help you smile some more
See all those around you
Hear their words and listen to our sound
Put your blinds behind you
Come –here-and, let us gather ‘rounddd!

(x2)
It’s Unity                       
It’s Community
It’s You / and / Me

(Key change)
It’s Unity
It’s Community
It’s You / and / Me

It’s You and Meeeeee

Herrre we are... We are I am somebody
Herrre we are... We are You are somebody... too
Herrre we are... We are We are somebody
Herrre we are... We are Together we get through

Here. We. Are.

Here We Are Full Version
