I can make a difference
Life can be good and bad
It’s not always a perfect world
You are not alone
You helped the world
You’ll go so far, (so far)
Just be who you wanna be
Be who you wanna see

Verse 1
Everybody will be with you
It’s like the moon and the earth
We’re always together
It’s better together
Verse 2
So find your roots
Spread your branches
It’s not always a perfect world
Life can be good and bad
Step back and just be glad

About the Book
Here We Are
Written by Oliver Jeffers
Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jeffers is a children’s book that serves as a gentle, humorous, and heartfelt “user’s guide” to our planet, created for his son but with universal appeal. It uses his signature illustrations to explain Earth’s land, sea, sky, and its diverse inhabitants, emphasizing kindness, tolerance, and the idea that we are all connected, despite our differences. The book covers basic concepts like day/night, taking care of our bodies, and the vastness of space, all while encouraging empathy and care for the planet and each other,
