Did you know me and you are just the same
We know pride and we know shame
And though we don't look at all similar
Both our hearts march to the beat
Of the melody we call our lives
It's not our outsides that tell who we are
It's our insides and what we keep in our heart
Our eyes look at the same people
Yet we see different things
I know that pain
I know that shame
The eyes of another starring at you with blame
We share the same insides
but not the same brain
You look at me with such disgrace
But we are both people made by God's grace
My preference of mate,
Or the gender I am,
Nor the color of my skin
Should tell you who I am and
Who I am not
My words and actions should speak for me
And I say you should let my people be
For God made us too
With his very hands
We are the same you and me
We are both humans who think and breathe
We know the same love and we know the same hate
But I spread pride while you spread shame
