OUR PROJECT SONG

We welcome you people
We're happy to see you
We will have loads of fun
A new friendship era has just begun

Together we are strong
We hope we'll get along
Throughout your short stay here
We will become a big big family

Ireland, Germany
Spain where it is sunny,
France, lovely Italy
We welcome you to our pretty country

We may seem different
But we all love to paint
And dance and sing and play
In the end we may just be the same
