To Know Me Is To Love Me

Starring at me from head to toe,
imaging and assuming what they really don't know.
Just because it is, don't necessarily make it so.
Open your heart, and me, you surely will know.

A shame for own parting themselves, from the other.
Closed to the world, stating, "Why should I bother,
by getting to know my sister and my brother."
"Because at peace you will become, if we got to know,
one another."

For there is just one world, and one life to live.
Better is life, when toward each other we give.
Just takes time, and the willingness to demonstrate, the tries.
For were all the same, when seen through god's eyes.
