She wrote glad I was raised in a different time and place Was she carefully taught as the song tells us She is of this world but not living it to its utmost Is she too blind to see that change is a constant? Liking that is another story Hate is a four letter word that is taught Children will play together and enjoy each otherβs company Until a adult pulls them away from each other Seen it with my own eyes because of color,creed,and religion Gay and straight definition doesn't change Accept don't reject You are here for now with so much more to learn and enjoy Why do you choose to live in the past and not grow There is something you have yet to know Be part of the world now because as Neil Diamond wrote used To bes don't count anymore they just lie on tbe floor til you sweep them away
