We're all water from different rivers That's why it's so easy to meet We're all water in this vast, vast ocean Someday we'll evaporate together

What's the difference? What's the difference?
Questioning the perceived differences between people and situations in life.

There's no difference! There's no difference! What's the difference?
Ultimately, there are no true differences that should separate humanity, only ones we create ourselves.
