Success In a Minor Key - Fame Annual Story

 

We're All The Same - Kids From Fame - Song of the Month

"We're All The Same " is an inspirational  song written by  Sue Sheridan & Laura Creamer in 1983 specially for "Fame". 

It is sung by a choir including Cynthia Gibb, Billy Hufsey, Carlo Imperato and Valerie Landsburg. In the episode dancers and singers are struggling to work together. When Chris temporarily goes deaf and has to leave the school the song is used to bridge the gay between the hearing and the deaf as well as the singers and dancer. Everyone signs the lyrics throughout the songs as they realize everyone is the same but all in their own unique way.

Sadly, the song was never released on a Fame Single or Album and so far it has never been performed during a Fame concert.

"We All Can Be Dancers,

Each In Our Own Way.

Movement Is Expression

For Feelings In Our Hearts,

That Words Could Never Say.

And If You Need A Hand,

There's Always On Here.

No Reason To Ask,

And No Need To Fear.

We're All The Same, (All The Same)

When You Look Deep Inside

We're All Afraid Of Standing Alone.

We're All The Same, (All The Same)

In So Many Different Ways.

And One By One We'll Find Our Way Home,

Together, On Our Own. 

We're All The Same, (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Oh Yes.

ooh, ooh, ooh

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh,

ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

We All Can Be Singers,

Each In Our Own Way.

We Reach Out In The Darkness,

We Touch With Just A Song,

That Turns The Night Into Day.

Won't You Come Join Our Chorus,

We'll Fill Up The Air,

With True Celebration,

For All That We Share.

Oh, We're All The Same, (All The Same)

When You Look Deep Inside.

We're All Afraid Of Standing Alone.

We're All The Same, (All The Same)

In So Many Different Ways.

And One By One We'll Find Our Way Home,

Together, On Our Own. 

We, All Can Be Dancers,

We All Can Be Singers,

We're All the Same."
