We ARE the same


We ARE the same Yes, it's true The melanin in my skin Makes me no better or worse than you To some I may be darker And to some I may be lighter But we should all have These same desires The desire to stick together And love one another Like a newborn baby Sticks to and loves their mother The desire to pick each other up Off of this cold world's ground Without looking for the fame Only doing it if cameras are around No, you may not look like, walk like, or talk like them And that's okay Because even though we have differences We ARE the same
