This song is from Sesame Street and essentially talks about how we’re all different – and yet we all sing with the same voice and sing in harmony. It’s got a message about celebrating diversity, and living in peace together. Today, this is my wish and prayer. Below I’ll post the Sesame Street version as well as the lyrics.LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
My hair is black and red
My hair is yellow
My eyes are brown and green and blue
My name is Jack and Fred
My name’s Amanda Sue
I’m called Kareem Abdu
My name is you.
VERSE 2:
I live in Southern France
I’m from a Texas ranch
I come from Mecca and Peru
I live across the street
In the mountains, on the beach
I come from everywhere
And my name is you.
CHORUS:
We all sing with the same voice
The same song
The same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony.
VERSE 3:
Sometimes I get mad and mean
Sometimes I feel happy
And when I want to cry, I do.
When I’m by myself at night,
I hold my teddy tight
Until the morning light
My name is you.
VERSE 4:
I have sisters one, two, three
In my family, there’s just me
I’ve got one daddy, I’ve got two
Grandpa helps me cross the street
My cat walks on furry feet
I love my parakeet
My name is you.
CHORUS
VERSE 5:
I like to run and climb
I like to sit and read
I like to watch my TV, too
And when it’s time for bed,
I like my stories read,
“Sweet dreams” and “love you” said
My name is you.
CHORUS (2x)
