I belong to a family, the biggest on earth
A thousand every day are coming to birth
Our name isn't Johnson, or Jackson, or Jones
It's a name every man should be proud he owns
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
I've got a sister in Melbourne, a brother in Paris
The whole wide world is dad and mum to me
Wherever you turn you'll find my kin
Whatever the creed or the colour of the skin
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
The miner in the Rhondda, the coolie in Peking
The men across the ocean who plough, reap and spin
They've got a life and others to share it
So let's bridge the oceans and declare
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
From the North Pole ice to the snow at the other
There is not a man I wouldn't call brother
But there isn't much time, I've had my fill
Of the men of war who intend to kill
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
Some people say the world's a horrible place
But it's just as good or bad as the human race
Dirt and misery or health and joy
Man can build or can destroy
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
A thousand every day are coming to birth
Our name isn't Johnson, or Jackson, or Jones
It's a name every man should be proud he owns
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
I've got a sister in Melbourne, a brother in Paris
The whole wide world is dad and mum to me
Wherever you turn you'll find my kin
Whatever the creed or the colour of the skin
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
The miner in the Rhondda, the coolie in Peking
The men across the ocean who plough, reap and spin
They've got a life and others to share it
So let's bridge the oceans and declare
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
From the North Pole ice to the snow at the other
There is not a man I wouldn't call brother
But there isn't much time, I've had my fill
Of the men of war who intend to kill
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
Some people say the world's a horrible place
But it's just as good or bad as the human race
Dirt and misery or health and joy
Man can build or can destroy
It's the family of Man keeps growing
The family of Man keeps sowing
The seeds of a new life every day
