우리는 하나야 (We Are One) - Derik Nelson's South Korea Songwriting Workshop

I had the honor of partnering with the U.S. Embassy Seoul, South Korea, to lead a special virtual songwriting program for a select group of talented Korean high school students. This music video is the culmination of our workshop-a song written collaboratively about friendship, peace, and cultural exchange. For many of these students, it was their first experience writing a song, and I'm extremely proud of their efforts and all that we accomplished together!
Thank you to American Music Abroad and the United States Dept. of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs for making this virtual program possible, and thank you to the U.S. Embassy Seoul and my new friends and songwriting students for your support and participation.

Lyrics:
We all share the same heartbeat
Beating like a drum inside
Sometimes we all feel lonely
While we’re looking up at different skies
Together is better
No matter how far away we are
Together is better
Ulineun Hanaya
We are one
Ulineun hanaya
I’m looking forward to the future
Knowing that I’ll see you there
When things are gray, on cloudy days,
You make it sunny everywhere, oh yeah
Together is better
No matter how far away we are
Together is better
Ulineun Hanaya
We are one
Ulineun hanaya
When we sing together in harmony
Everything gets lighter
Connecting through music, uniting in peace
Makes the world brighter, yeah, yeah
Together is better
No matter how far away we are
Together is better
Ulineun hanaya
We are one, we are stronger
Ulineun hanaya
We are one
Ulineun hanaya
