“Kindness”

I am kind to the earth

And show kindness to all that I see
When I reach out to another

To the world around me

The air, the land and the deep blue sea
Reduce, recycle and reuse
I’m connected to the world around me

Tolerance – “You, Me, He, She”

You, Me, He, She – We’re all different
You, Me, He, She – We are much the same
When we practice tolerance – You, Me, He, She
We accept our differences & things we cannot change
Tolerance sorts out what is important
I don’t expect for you to be just like me
Tolerance forgives instead of holding a grudge
Sometimes we agree to disagree

Repeat chorus:

Tolerance overlooks people’s fault
Tolerance gives space for us to be, to grow
Doesn’t insist on seeing things one way
Tolerance is flexible, it goes with the flow

The gifts I choose for the world
Are friendship, sweet friendship and peace
