Lyrics:

I could never take a step without your love, I need you
Still I had to walk a million miles before I’d meet you
Trust me when I say that we are meant to be
Cause I’ve been looking all over the world you see
And every step along the way has led me here

Oooh I was in Stockholm when I found myself in Amsterdam
Took a flight to Argentina, landed in Vietnam
Searched all over Philadelphia, Nairobi too
Just to find myself asking what I’m meant to do
To find someone like you

Even though your hair’s so different
What you wear’s so different
Oh your love’s no different from mine
Even though your fare was different
Though your prayers sound different
Your love’s no different from mine
Your love’s no different from mine
Your love’s no different from mine
Your love’s no different from mine.

I can’t deny the way I fell for how you’re different
Everything you do, the way you talk, the way you listen
You would never tell me who I’m meant to be
Our love should never only be a fantasy
Been searching all over for you for all these years

Oooh I was in Stockholm when I found myself in Amsterdam
Took a flight to Argentina, landed in Vietnam
Searched all over Philadelphia, Nairobi too
Just to find myself asking what I’m meant to do
To find someone like you

Even though your hair’s so different
What you wear’s so different
Oh your love’s no different from mine
Even though your fare was different
Though your prayers sound different
Your love’s no different from mine
Your love’s no different from mine
Your love’s no different from mine
Even though your hair’s so different
What you wear’s so different
Oh your love’s no different from mine
Even though your fare was different
Though your prayers sound different
Your love’s no different from mine
Your love’s no different from mine

The phrase ‘A Celebration of Humanity’ is originally a quote from the 2017 Oscar nominated musical ‘The Greatest Showman’, starring Hugh Jackman as the American showman P. T. Barnum. By the end of the movie, when the circus just has burned down, Barnum (Hugh Jackman) sits on the stairs of what was his life’s work, when a previously constant critic (Paul Sparks) joins him in the ashes left behind be the fire. They start talking and after a while the critic says:

“Putting folks of all kinds on stage with you…
All colors, shapes, sizes…
Presenting them as equals…
Why, another critic might have even called it
‘A Celebration of Humanity’”

Though the phrase from the movie did play a role in the inspiration of the song, the movie and the song are not related story wise. However, what the song truly is about is of course up to the listener to decide. For us it's about a culturally unthinkable relationship, a love story between two people that couldn’t be more different, but whose love in return is a proof of how very insignificant our differences really are. We knew quite early that we wanted this song to contain something more than just melodies and lyrics. We wanted to ignite a mindset and even if only for 3 minutes and 11 seconds, erase everything that pulls us apart as humans. For us It’s about celebrating our differences and realizing that love truly is boundless.
