Condemnation No Relation

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face 
I lived in a world where there was no discrimination of any race 
People smiled at me as I walked by 
There was no jeering, no ugly incidents to make me cry 
I was born this way 
Like many others every day 
I dream of a world in which hatred is strife 
I pray for a day when people will respect life
