We Are All

To feel the black rain
To walk on black earth
To see the black sky
To know the black's good

To listen to the silence
To hear sorrow cry
To see past the reflection
To view through the minds eye

To feel the cold burn
To listen to time turn
To listen to your heart beat
To promise then to break

Who can promise and stand tall?
Who can pledge and mean all?
Who can commit to give all?

Men are weak, men are small
But mankind could be strong and so beautiful
If it meant 
we are all
