It’s good to be different

It’s good to be different

Because we can learn from each other

Learn from each other’s visions, opinions, life experiences.

Our lives will be so much richer

Through the different cultures, religions, traditions

For somebody’s questions

Another one has the answer.

For somebody’s problems

Another one has the solutions.

For somebody’s blindness

Another one has the colours

For somebody’s silence

Another one has the right sound.

Because everybody is everybody’s teacher.

So let’s come together.

Every new language opens the door to a new world.

Every journey will change your mind.

Don’t be afraid to lend somebody a hand

Don’t be afraid to take a hand.

Take difference as a blessing

Take difference as a gift

For somebody’s tears

Another one has the smile.

For somebody’s war

Another one has the peace.

For somebody’s blues

Another one has the care

For somebody’s voice

Another one has the echo.

Because everybody is everybody’s teacher.

So let’s come together.

It’s good to be different.
