  D                  Bm
  O Siem, We are all family 
  D                     A
  O Siem, We're all the same 
  Bm   G               D
  O Siem, The fires of freedom
  G Bm         A       C    
  Dance in the burning flame 

C                  Bb              F
Siem o siyeya, All people rich and poor 
C                        G
Siem o siyeya, Those who do and do not know 
C                       Bb
Siem o siyeya, Take the hand of one close by 
C                        Bb   F            G
Siem o siyeya, Those who know because they try 
              Bb         F        G
And watch the walls come tumbling down

Siem o siyeya, All people of the world     [Call (Cl & R) & Response (the rest)]
Siem o siyeya, It's time to make the turn 
Siem o siyeya, A chance to share your heart 
Siem o siyeya, To make a brand new start 
And watch the walls come tumbling down
