Brand New Start

Song "Brand New Start"

Word or PowerPoint

Lyrics by Frances Kalender & Ashley Fray

Refrain

What difference does it make
The color of your hair?
The shade of your skin?
Or the clothes that you wear?
Put down the guns
And open up your hearts
Join our hands in freedom
Let's make a brand new start
