Have you ever noticed
how some people look away?
They turn their head and watch the ground
untill you walk away.
What is it they're afraid of?
What is it that they see?
Don't they know we're all alike?
We're all HIS family.
The peace I need is hard to find
in a world so torn by hate.
Why can't we see things eye to eye?
Is it that hard to relate?
The differences we share
make each of us unique.
Then why is it when we look around
the world just seems so bleak?
If ever you should pass me
please hold your head up high.
I may not know just how you feel
but I promise I will try.
