Dear God Help Us Not See In Color

The world today has so much hatred No virtues, nothing is held sacred Everyone lives next to strangers, they never get to know In apartments condos above or below All of us bleed red, you are all my sisters and brothers Dear God help us not see in color When we see cultures, a lot of times We tend to think only the bad in our minds We can learn a lot from our children to accept people for who they are Our racial tensions should be put away in a shatterproof jar Predjudices should be buried in the ground, just like our ancestors next to one another We have got to stop seeing each other in color Never mind the stranger on the bus sitting next to you If that person suddenly collapsed, what would you do If you take the time to say hello, get to know him or her Life should not be lived in a cold uncaring blur Love for our fellow humans should not be kept under cover Let's all strip away the color
