Imagine

Imagine a place with no bullies, it is easy to do.

Include everyone in your kindness—and it will come back to you.

Imagine everyone with a real job! It’s not hard to do.

People with disabilities can be included—and can make money too.

Imagine everyone with an education, it is easy to do.

People with disabilities need to learn—so include us too.

Imagine everyone with a social life! It can be done.

People with disabilities should be included so they can have fun.

Imagine everyone living on their own—it’s easy to see.

If it includes you, then it should include me.

Imagine equal rights! It’s easy to do.

Laws can be changed—and it can begin with you.

You may say that I’m a dreamer, but it’s easy to see …

Being included is what matters to me.
