Things can be broken down

In this world of ours

You don't have to be a famous person

Just to make your mark

A mother can be an inspiration

To her little son

Change his thoughts, his mind, his life,

Just with her gentle hum



So different, yet so the same

Two sisters only have their parents to blame

It's rare that two can get along

But when they do, they're inseparable

Such a blessing comes to few



The sky is full of clouds and

My world's full of people

All different kinds with different ways

It would take a lifetime to explain

Not one's exactly the same



He and she, two different people

With two separate lives

Then you put the two together

And get a spectacular surprise

'Cause one can teach the other one

What she doesn't know

While still the other fills a place inside

He never knew had room to grow



CHORUS



Once in a while I sit back

And think about the planet

Most of the time I trip on it

To kick back and think about

How massive it all is

And how many others are on it



I often think about the world

In which I live today, of animals and plants

And nature's gifts set on display

But the most amazing thing

That I've seen in my time

Are all the different people

And all their different minds

And different ways

It would take a lifetime to explain

Not one's exactly the same



So many different people

So many different kinds

So many different people

So many different kinds

Look at me, I'm a person

Look at me, I'm my own person

So many different people

So many different kinds

For better or for worse, different people
