i realize
what i despise
the world surrounding us today
what you do & what you say
what you can & what you cant
how they look at how you act
people judge by how you look
as a book, like youre a crook
judging on the outside makes me ashamed
makes me run and hide...inside
how we speak our mind
as we try to find
that seperating line
between tall & skinny
short & fat
being ugly or being all that
between right & wrong
yeah you know the song
how its been all along
its not about me its not about you
its always been about who's who
as we share what we have to say
people dont listen they turn away
to our dismay
running the other way
so we shut up
decide not to speak
we are now weak
we let them get to us
let them cause us pain
make us feel ashamed
they left a bloodstain
they made us feel little but we know we are strong
have been all along
though they made us feel wrong
we know we are right
so we'll stand up and fight
against prejudice, injustice, & all that is wrong
we'll write a new song
tomorrow is a new day
so hear me say
that we'll compose
of those
with peace & love in sight
and all will be right
but until then...
goodnight
