  12. I like more te song “One Big Family”
    I believe in God, I’m catholic for tradition, when I was a kid my parents take me and my brothers to the church, but I do’nt learn nothing. When I grow up I met different religions, and other beliefs, all this think they have the true, but what’s the true, the Bible says the “the truth will set you free” I think all this religions and beliefs has some part of the true, but no the all.
    I believe we are souls in a body taking a human experience, that’s why I think this song talk something about it

  13. My favorite song is one big family because this song tells us which are the feelings and thoughts of united family and we don’t have to fight because we are one family brothers and sister with the same value at the end of the day, we are all the same.

  14. song: One Big Family____ I like this song because is about family and friends that we need to help and love each other that there no differences between skin colors or languages..

  15. The two songs talk about important things, but the one I liked is hold my hand because it talks about sharing and helping. And I think as human beings we should always try to empathize with other people.

  16. I like Hold my hand song because , it invites us to reflect because we have become cold, empty people, we hurt them, let’s take our hands and make a beautiful, safe world, a world without crying. let’s do it.
