What do you see when you look at a person? Do you see the color of their skin? Or do you look into their eyes, under that flesh, Pass those bones And see who they really are. Inside their heart, inside their mind, inside their soul In hopes to get to know that real person. And not how they behave, Or by their name, Or even by what they say We ought to look pass our cultural differences, and notice that we are as one culture. One body, one mind made of many You, Me Him, Her Male and Female Black and White Mexican and Asian Muslim and Jew Christian and even Buddhist No matter who are, what we believe or where we came from we are one And we all seem to forget one thing that All of us, together, on this earth share a single breath of life. We all have one body, One mind One soul How can I begin to stress that we are one We are… The air that fills this earth We are… The rays that make up the sun We are… The stars in the sky The birds that soar high We are, all together…one The only thing that makes us different is our skin tone That’s only because some of us produces more melatonin And in my prayers I’m hoping, that Some of us will see MLK’s dream And God’s will for us to be…one

We Are One
What do you see when you look at a person? Do you see the color of their skin? Or do you look into their eyes, under that flesh, Pass those bones And see who they really are. Inside their heart, inside their mind, inside their soul In hopes to get to know that real person. And not how they behave, Or by their name, Or even by what they say We ought to look pass our cultural differences, and notice that we are as one culture. One body, one mind made of many You, Me Him, Her Male and Female Black and White Mexican and Asian Muslim and Jew Christian and even Buddhist No matter who are, what we believe or where we came from we are one And we all seem to forget one thing that All of us, together, on this earth share a single breath of life. We all have one body, One mind One soul How can I begin to stress that we are one We are… The air that fills this earth We are… The rays that make up the sun We are… The stars in the sky The birds that soar high We are, all together…one The only thing that makes us different is our skin tone That’s only because some of us produces more melatonin And in my prayers I’m hoping, that Some of us will see MLK’s dream And God’s will for us to be…one
