I am not like you
Not the same race
Nor the same nationality
Nor the same religion
I am not like you
Not as forgiving
Nor as graceful
Nor as compassionate
But I feel a part on you inside me
Because we are both people
And I realize that now
For it is too late as you look down upon
But you realized that before
And that is what made you different
You knocked down the barriers of race
You knocked down the barriers of hate
You loved even though you were a different race
You loved even though you were supposed to hate
To you love came naturally
And naturally you walked out of hell
Took on a new world
And loved in a world
Full of hate
And never looked back
God bless the man who loved when supposed to hate
God bless the man who forgave when supposed to grudge
God bless the man who smiled when supposed to spite
God bless the man I can call my hero
Even though I am not like you
I aspire to open my heart like you did
And fill it with beautiful, singing angels.
