Lyrics

We are Oklahoma kids. (We are Oklahoma kids)
We are Oklahoma's future. (We are Oklahoma's future)
We shine bright with every color. (We shine bright with every color)
A Kaleidoscope. (A Kaleidoscope)

We speak Chinese. We speak Spanish.
We speak Arabic and English.
Some among us here our Grandpas
Speaking Cherokee or Choctaw.

We are dark skinned. We are light skinned.
We are cowboys. We are Indians.
We have ancestors who came here
For a thousand different reasons.

Some laid tracks that brought the train.
Some drove cattle. Some grew grain.
Some were soldiers, others oilmen.
Some were slaves and some were freemen.

Some rode in on covered wagons.
Others walked from distant homelands.
We were born here. We were brought here.
Somehow all our families got here

So we share a common land we call our own.

We are Oklahoma kids. (We are Oklahoma kids)
We are Oklahoma's future. (We are Oklahoma's future)
We shine bright with every color. (We shine bright with every color)
A Kaleidoscope. (A Kaleidoscope)

We're explorers and we're triers.
We're bike riders and kite flyers.
We play baseball. We play soccer.
She's a rapper. He's a rocker.

From the cities to the rural routes
We are Brownies. We are Boy Scouts.
We do Tae Kwon Do and ballet
And we dream what we'll be someday.

We'll be singers with guitars.
We'll be athletes. We'll be stars.
We'll be scientists and teachers,
Veterinarians and preachers.

We'll build roads and we'll build robots.
We'll be farmers. We'll be astronauts.
However far we end up going,
Today we're learning and we're growing

Here together in this land we call our home.

We are Oklahoma kids. (We are Oklahoma kids)
We are Oklahoma's future. (We are Oklahoma's future)
We shine bright with every color. (We shine bright with every color)
A Kaleidoscope. (A Kaleidoscope)
