You Are Not Born That Way

It was due to learnt behavior
from generation to generation
trust me that did not come from our
LORD and SAVIOUR
hate prejudice a will to kill
another human being 
doing this at will
all you see is color 
not someone as part of the human race
we are all here 
by GODs peace mercy and grace
shake the devil off 
as fast as you can
divided we fall 
united we can stand
reach out and touch someone
before it is all said and done
we will hold hands 
singing the old ***** spiritual song
Free At Last 
shedding the "I'm better than you" syndrome
you will not go wrong
feel compelled to help each other stay strong
