My blood runs red in my blue veins I feel just as you do, exactly the same Cut me open and see inside That which is in me is beautified So as with you, our hearts are all true Irrespective of the color that our skin exudes
If you were to hurt me would I not cry ? Asking you forgiveness, the reason why Just as you would if you were to die Be judged by the same man in the sky
Do we not love and fear? Hope and dream for all things? That this life would be gentle and kind That we might live and learn unconfined
We are born and we die in the exact same way Are similarities not enough to keep a color war at bay? Skin, hair, money, status and power Are these the things we fight for that will slowly devour us?
I search for a world where this will no longer matter That for this reason no more blood shall splatter When the color of my skin will not make me less of a person But rather a sister to love and trust in
I want this world to see through the my eyes See what it means to truly accept and thrive What we could be if only we stopped fighting It would be love and life uniting.
