Listen child, Do you see her? A girl with hair as dark as charcoal, With alien language slipping out of her lips? She and you are different. She is wrong Listen child, Do you see him? Looking around, but unable to see Living in a world where light never shines He and you are different He is wrong Listen child, Do you see them? Shouting love, but doing it wrong Love is between a "man and a woman" You and they are different They are wrong No, I will not listen Her hair makes her unique Her diverse language enlarges her world No, I will not listen His darkness enhances the rest of him He hears and feels the things we cannot No, I will not listen They have the courage to love who they love Love is an emotion between "people" She and I are different He and I are different Them and I are different Different is not wrong Different is different
