Human Race

while it is true 
that i am not you
and i've no idea
where you've been 
or what you're going through

i know the race
we are in is human
and we can run it together
no matter the color 
of skin we're in

we all have a desire
that clearly beats from the heart
to live in peace
and harmony 
whoever you are

and one day we will step
over the finish line
one people
hand in hand
all color set aside
