U R US

I’ll watch you back said a mate at my school
How do I feel? it makes me feel tall
What of the boy in the corner so shy
Let’s watch his back and not make him cry
Then there’s the girl so lonely and sad
Let’s stand united the best friends she has
The child that’s uncertain and finding his way
We’ll light up a beacon to guide him that day
Our physical bodies are not always strong
But joining together puts right what is wrong
Show people kindness and they’ll take your hand
It’s our duty to make this a wonderful land
We are all equal, god made us this way
So come on children, join in and let’s play.
