You And I
by Jacqueline Jules
You are you and I am I.
Different as the earth and sky.
Still
there is no reason why.
We should make each other cry.
Chorus Chant: You and I. . .
Words can touch. Words can punch.
Dare you to sit down for
lunch.
Bring complaints face to face.
Rethink words said in
haste.
Chorus Chant: You and I. . .
Learn from me, I’ll learn from you.
Stretch our eyes to a wider
view.
If I know what you like best,
I can be a better guest.
Chorus Chant: You and I. . .
You are you and I am I.
Different as the earth and sky.
Still
we can live side by side.
Like green earth and bright blue sky,
We can live, side by side, side by side.
Chorus Chant: You and
I. . .
performed by students at Agudas Achim Congregation, Alexandria, VA
