We Need Differences

[Verse 1] Different is not inferior Just a new way to breathe One hand learns the hard edge One mind sees what I can’t see Same thing over and over Turns the ground into stone But the strange and the varied Keep the whole world grown [Pre-Chorus] If every leaf were identical Who would catch the rain? If every voice matched perfectly Who would call out change? [Chorus] We need differences We need differences To move, to bend, to live We need differences We need differences We need differences To adapt, to survive We need differences [Verse 2] Different bodies, different timelines Different hearts, different ways Different thoughts in the room Keep the future from decay We don’t all walk the same road And that’s how roads get made Every branch that grows sideways Helps the forest stay [Pre-Chorus] If every tool was one shape What would fix the crack? If every voice said the same thing How would we learn back? [Chorus] We need differences We need differences To move, to bend, to live We need differences We need differences We need differences To adapt, to survive We need differences [Bridge] Don’t call the spark a flaw Don’t bury what’s unique What looks like a weakness May be the thing we need [Final Chorus] We need differences We need differences To move, to bend, to live We need differences We need differences We need differences To adapt, to survive We need differences We need differences We need differences That’s how we stay alive We need differences
