Have you ever seen a boy with funny clothes?
A girl with braces on her teeth or freckles on her nose?
Some kids call them oddballs, some kids call them weird
Is it my imagination, or does Aunt Ruth have a beard?

God makes lots of people in all colors, shapes, and sizes
He loves them very much and what we need
To realize is that calling people names
Because they're different is wrong
Instead we need to look on them in love and sing this song

I can be your friend, I can be your friend
Any day, in any weather
We can be friends and play together

Yeah, we're all pretty different, some are skinny, some are stout
But the inside is the part that we're supposed to care about
Aye, that's where we've got feelings that are very much the same
So, instead of weirdo, I think friend's a better name

I can be your friend, I can be your friend
If your hair is red or yellow
We can have lunch, I'll share my jello

I can be you friend, I can be your friend
It's okay if we are different
We can still play 'cause I can be your friend
