The Difference We Make


Everything I need

Is contained in my actions.

To be different

Unique

Stand out from the crowd.

I cannot live without

The differences I make

In myself

And in others.

 

To always remember

Who We Are

And What We Stand For

Is what none of us

Can do without.

To fall in line

Camouflage

Be the same as everyone else

Are the only chains

That have ever held me down.

 

I will not let anything

Keep me from the sky again.
