Thought it was about my face?
  Faces barred from the race,
  racing towards the American
  Dream, is the world's it seems. 

No, it's our face, you and me
  both from G.O.D. don't you 
  see? Even the tiniest ant,
  without G.O.D., it can't.

We all move forward with time,
  time to get it right with like
  kind. Kind of dark, kind of white
  we all need the same Light.

We can't live the past, past time
  to not repeat our nation's crimes,
  crimes against you and me. 

But, someone thinks mankind should
  be, be divided in black and white to
  continue its spiritual fight. A fight, he 
  knows he can't win, still misleading
  till the end.
