There's a mother in the middle of nowhere
Cleaning rooms in a roadside motel
Trying to put her little girl through college
So she won't wind up cleaning rooms like she does
Skip to 10 years later and that little girl's a teacher
She's got 32 twelfth graders believing in themselves
And it's all because of that mother in the middle of nowhere
None of them will ever know a stranger changed their lives
And it just goes to show

We're all connected, we're all, we're all connected

There's a fire in the middle of nowhere
Getting bigger and closer to somewhere
But it's just another image on TV
To a guy two thousand miles away from there
His next-door neighbour's packing his suitcase
He was going to take a little vacation
And he never has been a fireman
But now he's headed west to volunteer

Cause maybe he can make a difference in this great big family
No matter what the distance he's always believed

We're all connected, we're all, we're all connected

(Connected to each other in one way or another
Everything we do is connected)
We're pieces of a puzzle, bricks in a wall
Whatever happens to one of us happens to us all
We're all connected, we're all, we're all connected
(What we do right now, affects someone somehow
Somewhere down the line we're connected)
