Accept Me Brother

Accept Me Brother November 1, 2012 2012 Put differences behind us, my friend, I know we can Accept me as your brother, accept the rights of man We have different places of worship with a God we love the same Forgive the other different minds that live with daily shame Show your peace, extend your hand, never let it go We’re on the one road, we can change our land I know We bend our knee and want to be free We’re from different places yes you and me No religion or color with children playing on the street Little children playing free, with a new world at their feet Those little children playing free will show us the children’s way They will teach us what freedom means, yes freedoms on the way From another lands so far away, please don’t go away With differences gone, or so they say, my friend, we need you, please stay Embrace a friend today irrespective of their name There’s no color or religion between us, I love you, we’re all the same Send our message to the minds of shame, change is on the way Join us now or be left behind, this is what the people say When you love someone there’s no difference, show the world we care Remember John and the Imagine song, the words the world did share We’re children of the world today, let all men live in peace Turn your back to bigotry, hatred within must cease Put differences behind us, melt together my friend with love Accept me as your brother, close your eyes and see the dove Gerrard McGeachy
