Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Like each flake of snow floating through the sky
We are all unique, we are all alike
Take a look around, you will see it's true
You're a lot like me, I'm a lot like you
Verse 1:
Everyone has eyes, they come in different shapes
Some are brown, some are blue, some are gray or green
Everyone has skin, it comes in many shades
It may be dark, it may be light, or somewhere in between
Chorus 2:
Everybody lives, everybody breathes
Everybody needs, everybody dreams
Everyone is born and changes through the years
We can laugh and cry and share our hopes and fears
Verse 2:
We all have a body, any size will do
It may be thick, it may be thin, it could be short or tall
We all have a heart, let it beat with pride
A common bond goes on and on, we're people one and all!
Follow Up:
Think of ways you are like your classmates or family members. Think of ways you are different. Make a list of other living things. Note the ways they are alike and different.
