Song Writing Intensive Evansdale School Many Cultures Join Hands Listen to the children of Evansdale School perform their song Chorus: Many years ago there were two cultures Traveling here by water and land Look how far we've come since then Many cultures, join hands. Verse 1: We all come from unique places With loving friends and families Traditions, beliefs, different skin But the same smiling faces. Verse 2: Everyone in Evansdale is the same We all have hearts and feelings Everyone at Evansdale is accepted We are all human beings. Chorus: Many years ago there were two cultures Traveling here by water and land Look how far we've come since then Many cultures, join hands. Verse 3: You can be whoever you want to be Be proud of who you are It's OK to be different You are a shining star. Verse 4: We enjoy our heritage With festivals and fun Singing, dancing, colours and lights We celebrate everyone. Chorus: Many years ago there were two cultures Traveling here by water and land Look how far we've come since then Many cultures, join hands. Bridge: Look how far we've come since then Many cultures, join hands.
