We are

We are

We are James, Pauls and Johns,
We are Marys, Jens and Juans,
We are Avas, Beths and Claras,
We are krishs, Ivans, Zaras,

We are Smiths and Browns and Stones,
Wilsons, Murphys, Ryan’s, Malones,
Yet we’re also Chois and Yangs,
Garcias, Cohens, Kumars, Zhangs,

We are Rosies, Rajans and Rajeshs,
We are Daisys, Dylans, Dineshs,
We are Katherines, Noah’s, Emmanuels,
Muhammads, Nicks and Danielles,

We are Kims and Jims and Jillians,
Spread from Truro to fort Williams,
From Patels and Parkers down in Stanton,
To the Lees and Levis of Wolverhampton,

A hundred different cultures fanned,
Across this green and pleasant land,
And yet one fact makes us the same, 
We are Britain. Learn our name.
