Lisa has curly hair and coffee-brown skin
A long white comfort blanket and she can scream too
Ole wears glasses and has hair as blond as straw
He sings all day long at the top of his lungs somewhere
And one day you'll definitely hear him on the radio

Luckily, there are so many differences between children
Otherwise, boredom would be great and this song certainly wouldn't exist

One child is like this, the other child is like that
But every child is born somewhere at some point
One child is tall, the other child is short
But every child wants to dream and above all be happy
Above all be happy

Mohammed has just learned German and he can also speak Turkish
And when he cracks his jokes, everyone is rolling on the floor laughing
Su-wong, she can do karate and defeats the strongest man
She puts him on his back faster than he can blink
And her big eyes look at him laughing

Luckily, there are so many differences between children
Otherwise, boredom would be great and this song certainly wouldn't exist

One child is like this, the other child is like that
But every child is born somewhere at some point
One child is tall, the other child is short
But every child wants to dream and above all be happy
Above all be happy

Maria comes from Greece
Rodrigo from Peru
I come from Hamburg-Altona
Well, and where do you come from?
The world is big and everywhere there are children just like you
And each one seeks sunshine in their own way
And each one seeks sunshine in their own way

Luckily, there are so many differences between children
Otherwise, boredom would be great and this song certainly wouldn't exist

One child is like this, the other child is like that
But every child is born somewhere at some point
One child is tall, the other child is short
But every child wants to dream and above all be happy
Above all be happy
