about

Permaculture principle 10: Use and value Diversity - Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Variety is the spice of life. Create polyculture rather than monoculture.

lyrics

If you mix every colour under the sun
In time you’ll find that you just have one.
Better give them all a chance to shine
Cos otherwise you end up with the same thing

It’s a delicate balancing act
And that applies to you and me
Cos the only way we stay intact
Is with a big fat dose of diversity

Our bodies are a billion organisms made into one
There’s no telling where the last one ended
Or where the next tiny little bacterium begun
You see, diversity is your friend and

If your food only had one flavour
If everything that you said was right
It really wouldn’t work to your favour
Variety is the spice of life

Cos there’s many, many, many, many different kinds
Many, many, many, many different places
Many, many, many, many different times
Many, many, many, many different faces
Many, many, different varieties
Many, many, people in society
There’s many different opinions on the way to do things
Many, many, many, many songs to sing

So if you like everything to look the same
Just open up and try to get past it
Cos it really does make you stronger
When you don’t put all your eggs in one basket

The more functioning connections the better
You never know what it will become
Mix it up but keep it together
Make your differences work as one

Cos there’s many, many, many, many different kinds
Many, many, many, many different places
Many, many, many, many different times
Many, many, many, many different faces
Many, many, different varieties
Many, many, people in society
There’s many different opinions on the way to do things
Many, many, many, many songs to sing

Mix it up, mix it up, mix it up
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Cos there’s many, many different kinds
Many, many, many, many different places
Many, many, many, many different times
Many, many, many, many different faces
Many, many, different varieties
Many, many, people in society
There’s many different opinions on the way to do things
Many, many, many, many songs to sing
