The World

We forget the words of equality that once were said,

In the fight for Civil Rights blood once stained the roads red.

First it was women, then it was blacks.

Round and round we went and now we're back.

History repeats itself, it's a matter of fact.

Open up your eyes, it's simply love that we lack.

Shutting people out because they love the same sex.

It's this kind of oppression that has my soul vexed.

You don't see yourself as wrong or as the enemy.

You're just trying to save a life, to do the right thing.

Change your heart and then you'll see,

That tolerance and love is what we actually need.

We go to other countries to fix their beliefs

When our own backyard is a forest full of grief.

I don't ask for much, but one thing I do:

Change how you view things...imagine it were you.
