A different skin tone A different tongue What does it matter? We’re all born young – Innocent and naïve Until the world infects Our minds and makes us harm The world we should protect
A different belief A different home But what is the difference Between “Hi” and “Shalom”? Or “As-Salamu Alaykum” And “Peace be with you” In the end we’re all humans Christian or Muslim or Jew
And it’s all rather silly If you care to think it through How we need to differentiate And separate me and you Just because we were born In a slightly different place Into a different religion Into a different race
‘Cause we’re humans and we bleed The same colour of red We need the same things To be loved and fed Even if I lived a world away It matters not in the end We’re all in this together You and me, my friend
