Breaking Down Division

We live in a world of so many ethnic divides The future is in trying to unite Healing the damage trying to make things right, The colour of your skin or your belief Makes you in no way different from me, It's nothing we see when we are kids It's something our parents and peer group taught, To fear anything you don't understand But I for one think if we all join hands, We can connect in every land And work on a new manifesting plan, Where as ordinary people we cast away the hate Sing with one voice and cast discrimination away, Build societies in better stronger displays, Where all lives matter and we are all colour blind It's not that any longer that defines, Just the kindness and compassion That flows through your heart, Is it not about time we give love, peace and unity a chance And rediscover the humanity in you, People are all unique and individual And that the honest truth, So we are all different in our own little ways But let's not make this be a cause for discriminatory hate.
