I’m red and you’re white and he’s black and she’s brown
That only depends on the sun shining down
We’ve got to remember in this human game
Our skills may be different – our worth is the same!
I run like a deer and you sing like a lark
He swims like a fish and she sees in the dark
We’ve got to remember in this human game
Our skills may be different – our value the same!
I always eat fish and you always eat meat
He always eats rice and she always eats wheat
We’ve got to remember in this human game
Our food may be different – but it’s good all the same!
I am a Christian and you’re a Parsee
He is a Muslim and she is Hindi
We’ve got to remember in this human game
Religions are different but love is the same!
My parents are French and your parents are Greek
His parents are Chinese, her parents are Sikh
We’ve got to remember in Canada’s game
Diversity’s valued – SO TREAT US THE SAME!
