NOT SO DIFFERENT

Special Olympics are coming to town,

Pakistan is where they’re from,

Everybody will help you here,

Children will give you some love and care,

(I swear.)

A little prayer every day,

Lets all go out and play,

Off you go on your way,

Learning is your disability,

You`re very special,

Mam and Dad are very happy,

Pakistan are very welcome to Ireland,

Come on now you`re,

Special too.

Not so Different

Some people train for years,

Practising for the gold,

Excited about the game,

Coming from everywhere

Independent and happy,

A lot of support they need,

Love and attention too,

Olympics are lots of fun,

Lots of hard work too,

Young and old can do it,

Many of them do,

Perseverance is very important,

Indomitable spirit too,

Champions win the gold,

So you can be one too,

NOT SO DIFFERENT

People may call them names,

But they’re just the same,

People stare but do not share,

It’s a shame,

They’re just the same.

They have special teachers and special schools,

They are special people.
