On this planet we call home
Countless people roam
But why do so many still feel so alone?
Trapped in our mind
With the harsh nature of the human kind
Surrounded by millions
With all too many opinions
But we all remain the same deep down
We are earth’s civilians
All those with bad habits or not
Don’t forget you still mean a lot
People who laugh at those afar just haven’t found
Who they really are
To the weak and poor
The man who worked 24 hours this week at his store
From those ones who can’t afford a car so they bike
To the the wealthy singers and songwriters alike
The central park vendor selling a vegan hotdog,
And the fortune teller with her bright crystal fog,
No matter your shape, your size, your height and all
Everyone’s passions and livelihoods stand equally tall
The smart and the learning
May both still be yearning
Roaming the streets with with eyes so wide,
Everyone unique, each one a delight,
A colorful palette, in every cities bright light
A scraggly man who plays the saxophone
And the one next to him with a parrot on his collar bone
The little girl with the tutu spinning ‘round,
Their quirks, their talents, always astound,
To some you are a weirdo
But inside you’re truly a hero
So let us embrace the strange and new,
For its the weird people who make this world so alive and true
The young and old
Must all be told
From here on out differences shall be celebrated not shun
For on this planet our oddities are not outdone
The rhythm of the earth beats
And each unique individual completes
Now tomorrow before you say something not nice
Please think twice
Before calling them ugly or fat
Realize they may be just that
And promise me
You’ll remember we all play an important part
In this big beautiful harmony
