elton john's the one

Hi all,
I love this song but look at these lines from the song,
Those who think difference is the child of disease.

Here, Could "difference" be "different" and
Could "is" be "are" .
Those who think different are the child of disease.
Many thanks.

Just a minor point - Elton didn't write those words, Bernie Taupin did.
