Let's Be Friends

Let's be friends, there's nothing stopping us.

Let's be pals, there's nothing in our way.

Let's hold hands, to join our hearts as one.

Let's bring peace, for a new day.

I like being me, you like being you.

Even though we may be different,

we share lots of things too.

I like to laugh, and you like to play.

Even though we may be different,

we each find joy in the day.

Let's be friends, there's nothing stopping us.

Let's be pals, there's nothing in our way.

Let's hold hands, to join our hearts as one.

Let's bring peace, for a new day.

I look like me, and you look like you.

Even though we may be different,

we share lots of things too.

I don't want to be pushed.

You don't want to be shoved.

Even though we may be different,

we both just want to be loved.

Let's be friends, there's nothing stopping us.

Let's be pals, there's nothing in our way.

Let's hold hands, to join our hearts as one.

Let's bring peace, for a new day.
