We Are One Family

We are one, were sisters and brothers

We are one, we learn from each other
We are one, this is our community
We are one, were one family.

Were the children of the future
Its through our eyes you see
A great new world with freedom, peace, and
equality.

We are one, we speak in many voices
We are one, were taught to make good choices
We are one, part of world diversity
We are one, we believe in unity.

Its here we build our future, at PS 17
Reading, writing, art and math, we learn
successfully.

We are one, we challenge the future
We are one, we respect each others culture
We are one, full of pride and dignity
We are one, we are family.

We are one, were sisters and brothers
We are one, we learn from each other
We are one, this is our community
We are one, were one family
We are one, were one family.
