One Multi Human Race

If you allow the history to overshadow the change, 
you'll focus on the past more than the present day, 
becoming more accustomed to a gone reality, 
where racism was open and of the majority,

back then the world was thoughtless, not like ours today 
they thought you all subhuman and kept you out the way 
through bigoted delusion they oppressed you into place 
when narcissistic mindsets had no knowledge of disgrace

Now, today, you're in our vision as we allow you take the stage 
with sensitivity we listen and confront those past mistakes 
we've acceptance that was missing as we learn the world you face 
feeling shamed we join your mission respecting you for what it takes 
  
saddened by the small minority still showing you that hate 
for every racist out there you've a hundred thousand mates 
support will keep on growing whilst those racists go to waste 
for the first time we've a future with ONE multi-human race
