Be as you are Let me be as I am
Together we’ll grow If we come to Understand
Our differences make us strong
Just ‘cause I don’t understand you doesn’t make you wrong
Be as you are Let me be as I am
Together we’ll grow If we come to Understand
We’re different in color, religion and name
And gender and physical build but there countless ways We are the same
Be as you are Let me be as I am
Together we’ll grow If we come to Understand
In nature, life needs variety to succeed
And the strength of all humankind relies on diversity
Be as you are Let me be as I am
I’ll breathe and let go
Of what I don’t understand…
