Rejoice in the spirit of CHIJ OLN when you listen to the songs sung by our students and others connected to the school, and you will know why the girls will tell you, “I Am the Difference”! “I Am the Difference” Lyrics: Verse 1 Many people say the world is too big Many people say we simply exist There is nothing much we can do to make any change We’ll be better off keeping to doing things just the same Verse 2 Many people see a world that’s in pain Many people feel the stress and the strain So they hide behind the shield that covers the emptiness inside Till one day someone comes to lift it, pulling it and putting it aside Chorus To make a difference, to be the difference Just give me wings and my spirit will soar The flame of love that’s burning and bursting forth Making a difference to everything around me and to everyone I am the difference Verse 3 Well, I see the world in quite a different light Yes, I see the world as colours in flight I see love and life all dance around me, flowers in bloom Every rainbow, every smile that greets me, every bird that sings its own tune Repeat Chorus Bridge I know that what I need is courage in my heart So with God by my side, I will do my part Repeat Chorus I’m the difference Oh….yeah…. I Am the Difference
