[Verse 1]

Well, things can be broken down in this world of ours

You don't have to be a famous person just to make your mark

A mother can be an inspiration to her little son

And change his thoughts, his mind, his life

Just with her gentle hum, hum

So different, yet so the same

Two sisters only have their parents to blame

It's rare that two can get along

But when they do, they're inseparable

Such a blessing comes to few, few

[Pre-Chorus]

The sky is full of clouds

And my world's full of people

[Chorus]

You got the different kinds

With different ways

It would take a lifetime to explain

Not one's the same (Eee)

[Verse 2]

He and she, two different people with two separate lives

Then you put the two together, you get a spectacular surprise

'Cause one can teach the other one what she doesn't know

While still the other fills a place inside

He never knew had room to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow

[Pre-Chorus]

The sky is full of clouds

And my world's full of people

[Chorus]

You got the different kinds

With different ways

It would take a lifetime to explain

Not one's the same, hey

[Bridge]

Oh, yeah, once in a while, I sit back

And think about the planet

And most of the time, I trip on it

To kick back and think about how massive it all is

And how many others are on it, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I often think about the world in which I live today

Of animals and plants and nature's gifts set on display

But the most amazing thing that I've seen in my time

Are all the different people

And all their different minds, minds, minds, minds

[Chorus]

And different ways

It would take a lifetime to explain

Not one's exactly the same

So many different people

So many different kinds

So many, many, many different people

So many different—

[Outro]

Look at me, I'm a person

Look at me, I'm my own person

So many different people

So many different kinds

For better or for worse, different people
