Mostly the Same

 

Let's do it together, be it life, school or game

Our promise is that we will not be to blame

For someone not included its such a terrible shame

We're all a little bit different but mostly the same

 

If we see someone sitting alone then we'll be

The ones who say come over here, sit with me

If I know that a classmate is sad I will see that

They have a companion, my company's free

 

If a game that we're playing doesnt suit only one

Change it up so that all of us can have some fun

It may end up different from how it begun but we

Don't care if we walk, roll , skip, jump or run

 

Everyone is important this must be quite clear

There are some who can't see, or walk or not hear

Let's encourage all kids to join in without fear

That inclusion's the place and that place is here

 

So that is it, it's not in your looks or your name

Not what you wear or from where that you came

It's about everyone included, from a flicker to a flame

Cause for all that we're different, we are mostly the same!
