 to the world around me

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

Repeat chorus:
