Well things can be broken down
In this world of ours
You don't have to be a famous person
Just to make a 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

The sky is full of clouds and
My world's full of people
You got the different kinds,
With different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's the same, he

He and she, two different people
With two separate lives
Then you put the two together
And 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

The sky is full of clouds and
My world's full of people
You got the different kinds,
With different ways
It would take a lifetime to explain
Not one's the same, hey

Oh yeah
Once in a while I sit back
And think about the planet
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

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, minds
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 many different people
So many different
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

    This song is one of my favorites! Nowadays people have become so segregated by their own will and this song is just showing how we are ALL beautiful.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
