With universal themes of cultural diversity and celebrating our differences, this song is suitable for ages 5-12 years and beyond. In a hip hop style. Features:
an uplifting unison chorus with handclaps
a rap section that provides a great opportunity to get children involved who may be reluctant to sing
a bridge that can be sung by a soloist or used as a 2-part section for the choir.
I just wanted to say thank you for writing this song. Our principal said it brought tears to her eyes as the message in this song is what she wants our school to be about.

Verse We're all different you and me That's what we call diversity Every life is like a brand new song
It starts out with a melody And like the branches of a tree Grows and grows throughout your whole life long
Change will come for better or worse And so you add another verse Sing it loud and sing it strong
Chorus x2 Everyone belongs Where they can sing their song And live in harmony With neighbours, friends and family
Rap It's not just about the clothes we wear or how we look The colour of our skin, the kind of food we cook There’s more to you and me than just what meets the eye There’s all the different feelings that we have inside
Everyone is different in so many ways Wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same Celebrate your culture, your family history And when we’re all together celebrate diversity
Chorus x2 Everyone belongs Where they can sing their song And live in harmony With neighbours, friends and family
Bridge Listen carefully Can you hear a voice Struggling to be heard? Give them a chance to be Heard above the noise That’s something everyone deserves
Interlude
Chorus x2 Everyone belongs Where they can sing their song And live in harmony With neighbours, friends and family
