Variety

If apples tasted like oranges

and steak tasted like potatoes.

Whatever then would be the use

of different kinds of tomatoes.

If we weren't born with different tastes

there would only be one dish.

We'd only have one recipe

for different food we’d have no wish.

But thank God that we're all different,

none of us just alike.

For this is what has given us

variety, the spice of life.

Without it we'd find life boring

a terrible way to live.

So we chase away monotony

varieties gift to give.

With each and every one of us

being different deep inside.

Our lives are made much better

our horizons broadened wide.

We learn to share things that we love

opening ourselves to others.

Accepting their ways their customs and selves

we now have found new brothers.

The difference between us

has brought us together.

And has given us a lift

thru the darkest of weather.

It's all because we have liked something different

and been given a chance to see.

Our lives have become fuller we've grown more complete

credit this to variety.
