We are one


Why can’t you see who I am?

We live on the same planet

But not on the same world

You so blue

I see black

You’re going forward

I’m going back

When you smile the world lights up

When I smile they all get scared

Is that why?

Is that why you left me behind?

For whom you pretend to be

The one everyone sees

The one you pretend to be

The one that is not me

But in the end you are me

And I am you

We are one

And that is all we can be

Because in this world you can hide

But people will find

Find the truth

And all your lies
