Our Story Song Lyrics

Verse 1

Let our vision be our guiding light as we journey through our lives

Let our song echo into the night, united in our strife

Look around us, let us realise we're part of the same side

Let's create a future where every voice takes flight

Chorus 1

I am strong, I am different, unique in every way

We're part of the same story, we're part of the same place

Celebrate our colours, each and every face

You are a part of me, a journey we embrace

Verse 2

As we build a world where all can thrive, let compassion be our pride

Let us cherish every moment, let us break down all divide

Together we'll venture across the oceans wide 

With hope and strength, we'll journey through every song and tide

Chorus 2

I am strong, I am different, unique in every way

We're part of the same story, we're part of the same place

Celebrate our colours, each and every face

You are a part of me, a journey we embrace

Bridge

Through the darkest days, we know we'll see it through

With a warm embrace, accepting me and you

You are my brother, my sister and my friend

You are my family, my pillar and my strength

Chorus 3

I am strong, I am different, unique in every way

We're part of the same story, we're part of the same place

Celebrate our colours, each and every face

You are a part of me, a journey we embrace

You are a part of me, a journey we embrace
