The Human Race

I'm tired of seeing 
racism.

I'm tired of being 
stereotyped, when 
we don't even know 
each other.

I'm tired of being 
hated on, because 
I talk different...

I walk different, 
I look different,
I dress different.

Underneath 
we're all the same.

One race 
the human race.

Why can't everybody 
get along, there's good 
in all of us if we give each 
other the chance to coexist 
as equals.

Instead some of us 
rather discriminate,
judged for the color 
of our skin.

This is the type of 
world we living in,
a world living in sin.

And I pray for a change,
cause if the world ended 
today...

Not many of us would 
rest in peace with hate 
in our hearts. 

It's time we all unite 
as one, and eracism.

Let's make this world 
a better place to live 
in.
