ISGP QLD 2018 - Pe Ai Ea

Bell rings it’s time for lunch
I see my friends together
Then I see, someone alone 
Someone I’ve never talked to
Should I go and say hello
I want to show I care
I know my friends are watching me
Wondering what I’ll do? 

I take a breath
I take a step 
It’s the right thing to do
This might be hard
But I’ve come this far
I know what it’s like to be you 

I heard they’re different 
I heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop me from trying 	
Differences are a source of strength
I know this is true 
I heard they’re different 
I heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop me from trying 	
Differences are a source of strength
I know this is true 

Next day I see my friends
They come to me and say 
We saw you sit with someone new 
What will you do today 
I wonder why these differences 
Make us feel afraid
If we search for truth ourselves
I wonder what we’ll do? 

We take a breath 
We take a step 
It’s the right thing to do
This might be hard
But we’ve come this far
We know what it’s like to be you 

We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
We heard they’re different 
We heard they’re strange 
That won’t stop us from trying 
Differences are a source of strength
We know this is true
