FAITH song - the Belgian version


One of the challenges for our pupils in the equality and inclusion part of our project was to rewrite the famous 80’s song from George Michael Faith. They had to try and change the lyrics and have them fit into our theme of inclusion.

Although we do not have the technical means and the musical expertise in the Belgian school, our pupils from the English class went to work enthusiatically on this assignment and here is what they came up with …

Well I guess it would be strange
If you don’t like somebody 
Because that person’s body
Is different from yours  
 
Well here is my advice
Try to keep your heart in
The right place, in the end
We’re all the same  
 
Oh but I  know that you know
That everybody
Has something that everyone adores  
For instance black and white just
Shine together
Two reflections into one
It’s like ying and yang
 
So you gotta have faith
Yeah you gotta have faith …
  
Baby  Can I ask you a favour
Just please please please don’t discriminate
Listen to my view  
Hey there
I mean every word I say
I hope you’ll think about my way
Of how to handle thetype of things
I talked you about
  
Oh but I  know that you know
That everybody
Has something that everyone adores  
Ethnicity, class  or gender
Nobody is dumb or weak
Everyone’s unique
  
So you gotta have faith
Yeah you gotta have faith …
