So I'M One of You

So I'm one of you, No matter what place I come from, No matter what place I call home, No matter whose blood Flows each day through my veins - It is only the power Of mind that will reign, No matter what language My countrymen speak, First of all, in a man It's a heart that you seek. In this boundless world We're all nothing but dust, But we all have a heart, Able to love and to trust. In each language these words Mean the same as in yours. Poor or rich, black or white - It's not our choice, But for peace we will fight, Will be heard every voice! Since the first breath I made Have for freedom all rights, I'll get over the pain For my freedom and life! In your sins you blame all Who are different or weak - That's denying your fault, Helplessness... don't you think? Fight for life, fight for all, And you'll get freedom, too. In this strife for our world I am still one of you.
