Blood Red

Why do we as human beings
Feel the need to judge each other

He's to thin, she's to fat
Their not cool, nor the right color

That thin man take a look
He was just diagnosed with cancer

That beautiful girl standing there
She's got so much love inside, she overflows

As for being cool each to their own
Maybe its you that should be all alone

Color only runs skin deep
Inside we're all the same

We all have one beating heart 
When it is wounded it bleeds the color red
