Among the Distance

Two friends among the distances
One is red and one is blue 
Uniting despite the fights 
The colors choose to fuse

Purple is a pretty color
It's the color we should be
Martin Luther didn't die
Rosa Parks didn't cry 
For us to live separately 

I love my neighbors, red and blue
Black, mixed and white
Men, women, other, too
I love whoever you are, too

To my friend among the distance 
I'd like to thank you
For loving me just the same
For loving both red and blue
