Standing As 1
Who are you, what do you believe in?
Its not about your future or where you've been.
Its about the present and your actions now.
To stand up and take this unprecedented vow.
I want to put a stop to this color war.
Hasn't enough blood been spilled before.
I don't know what everyone else is seeing,
but under everything its just another human being.
We are capable of great things like exploring outer space,
but how about we come down and look at the human race.
We need to stand up and speak in one voice,
that this isn't acceptable and you will know my choice.
This world has bigger problems than a petty dislike.
Let the world know we will not go quietly into the night.
We will no longer allow this mindless schism.
So we will stand up as one and put an end to racism.
