Different
(Andy Glockenspiel)
2002
I don't want to merely tolerate or put up with diversity. I want to CELEBRATE IT. We are all wonderfully different. I want to celebrate. Will you celebrate me?
Different doesn’t always mean bad
different doesn’t always mean sad
different can sometimes be quite nice
let’s look at different a little differently
that’s my advice
different this different that
different clothes different hats
it’s boring if we’re all were the same
to me, when I think of being different
I think special, I think unique,
that means one of a kind not freak
I think different is my kind of game
different legs, different hands
you say pec-an, I say pecan
I like mustard on my french fries
you wear a turbun, I wear a yamika
happy Baisakhi, happy Chanukah
when Daddy’s mad he always speaks Chineese
to me, when I think of being different
I think special, I think unique,
that means one of a kind no freak
I think different is my game
different hair, different eyes
we both have feet, different size
some of us, have different holidays
my skin is dark, you have freckles
I like stripes, you like speckles
when I sing real high I make a squeaky noise
to me when I think of being different
I like to think that I’m a little different
the thing that we all share is that we’re all different
I think different is my kind of game
