Our World

Intro:
Here we stand: children of every age,
This is our world and the world’s our stage.
We can laugh, we can cry – we can float, we can fly,
We can dance, we can sing – we can do almost anything
in OUR world … our beautiful world.
Verse 1:
Some of us are small; some of us are tall,
Some of us are shy; some say hi to everybody,
Some of us like numbers; some of us love words,
Some of us watch football, and some of us watch the birds!
(Chorus)
This is our world … we’re different but the same.
We live and learn together – we get to know each other …
in OUR world … our beautiful world.
Verse 2:
Some of us like music; some of us like cars,
Some of us draw pictures, looking at the stars,
Some of us are scientists, trying to find the code,
All of us can help a friend and give a hand to hold.
This is our world – there’s room for everyone.
We learn to live together, and we have a lot of fun …
In our world … in our world … in our beautiful world!

“Riley, there’s a letter from Summertown
Junior High here for you,” yelled Mom.
My stomach turned upside down. It was
my first day of term at a new school on
Monday and I was feeling a little nervous.
It was my Grade 6 schedule and a letter
from the principal. Then something else
caught my eye. “Hey, look – a message
from my Welcome Buddy! She’s called
Samira.”
“What’s she like?” asked Mom.
“She seems really friendly. She likes
science and math, but she doesn’t like
P.E. Oh, look, here’s a photo.”

I arrived for my first day of school clutching a science
book as a gift for Samira. I saw her in a group of
Welcome Buddies standing near the
lockers. She didn’t look exactly like
she did in the photo – her hair was
short and she wasn’t wearing
glasses – but it was definitely her.
“Hi, I’m Riley – you’re my Welcome
Buddy!” I said. “This is for you.”
I handed her my gift. She didn’t look
very happy.
“Hi Riley. Uh, thanks for the book,” she answered.
“I guess you want to see the gym and the sports field
first. I’m so excited that you were the P.E. captain in your
last school. I love P.E. – I’m the P.E. captain here.”
“Oh,” I said, a little confused. “I’d rather see the science
laboratory first.”
“Yes,” I said. “I thought you did, too …”
“Hmmmm, not so much,” she replied.
This was strange! Why did Samira lie in her
Welcome Buddy letter? And why did she think
We walked down the hallway into the science
lab and suddenly there were two Samiras – my
Samira and her double with long hair and glasses,
showing a confused-looking girl in sportswear
around the lab.
“Look – it’s my twin,” said my Samira. “Hey Samira,
this is Riley. He likes science like you.”
“Hi Shemina! My Welcome Buddy is called Riley, too!
And she likes P.E. like you!” said the real Samira.
“I think we got the wrong Riley!” laughed
Samira and Shemina, identically.

ago I’d be marrying a country girl and buying a house together! I met my future wife
during my first weeks in the country when I was walking by the lake. She loves visiting
my friends and family in the city, but we have decided to raise a family here in the
country. Better go – I don’t want to be late for my wedding!

small country town for my apartment in the city. Let’s see what happens …!
Now more time has passed.
I’m happy in the city at last.
If I ever miss my country town, 3

I’m leaving the country and moving to the city today. I’m nervous, but I’m excited.
I love my new country life! If I changed my mind, I would be able to go back and live with my parents, but
It’s a perfect place to raise kids with my wife. I’m sure I won’t. I’ve been dreaming of this moment for a long time!
If I ever miss the city,
