People Are Different

White collar, blue collar, hillbilly, high dollar

Hot head, pot head, non-believer, holy water

Big city, small town, y'all take a look around

People are different

Heavy metal, hip hop, steal toe, flip flops

Sip it slow, cold beer, hits you fast whiskey shot

Accent North, South, good as gold, sailor mouth

People are different

Yeah, we all know it's true

But it don't mean that me and you

Can't walk down a street

And smile at a stranger

Heart on your sleeve

And love thy neighbour

No matter what shape

No matter what colour

Break bread instead of fighting each other

Slip on a pair of another man's shoes

You'll see by the time you get back

This old world would be a whole lot better place

If we'd all just embraced the fact

That people are different

People are different

Left wing, right wing, jail house, freedom ring

Old school, new school, everything in-between

Like a snowflake no fingerprint's the same

And people are different

I wish that it was something that we all understood

Lord knows it'd do us all some good

To walk down a street

And smile at a stranger

Heart on your sleeve

And love thy neighbour

No matter what shape

No matter what colour

Break bread instead of fighting each other

Slip on a pair of another man's shoes

You'll see by the time you get back

This old world would be a whole lot better place

If we'd all just embraced the fact

That people are different

Yeah, people are different

You can turn on the TV

Change the channel if you don't like what you see

You can get your money back if it ain't your size

You can throw it in the trash if you don't like it

But listen, people are different

So walk down a street

And smile at a stranger

Heart on your sleeve

And love thy neighbour

No matter what shape

No matter what colour

Break bread instead of fighting each other

Slip on a pair of another man's shoes

You'll see by the time you get back

This old world would be a whole lot better place

If we'd all just embraced the fact

That people are different

People are different

People are different

Whoa, yeah
