Two year olds – no – four year olds
No, seven year olds
Do not see
Anything different
Anything wrong
Anything out of the ordinary
They see
A new opportunity
A new stranger to befriend
A new treasure to uncover
So why all this hate
Why all this blamin’
Why all this negativity
When the battle already been fought
When the war already been won
When the King already spoken
When the Bible already been sworn on
When the second term already come around
Tell me
Why all this delaying
Why all this slaying
When returning to that wonder
And returning to that awe
And returning to that acceptance
Perfectly captured within that essence
of a child
Is as easy
As just steppin’ out the way
So let the walls fall down
And the skins dissolve
Let a nation this great
A nation this diverse
Stand together as
One
No, truly as one
Rather, let’s sit as
One
So that not one Rose has to stand
And that no Dream has to be interrupted
Let’s blend into one another
Until no ma’am has been forgotten
And no sir has been dis-titled
So that no child has to go to school alone
And so that no Ruby is left undiscovered
