It starts when you're young
Unaware of the hate
It slowly passed down
As a family trait
The first visible signs
Start as a game
Then you take it too far
And make another feel shame.
Remember kids in school
That brought torrent and pain
They strike at the soul
Until the pride is drained.
No man has the right, to think he's more than another
Because of his face, religion or his color.
Black or white,
Red or green,
I consider you my brother
I can't believe it's come to this
We're killing one another
You walk through life
Like it was owed to you
You spread the disease
By the things you say and do
"How did he get my job"
"It must be because he's black"
At the Mcra! fiber
You make your attack
These feelings of hate
Are turning man against man
You live the worst world war
By the message you send
No man has the right, to think he's more than another
Because of his face, religion or his color.
Why do you think you are
The superior race
And god looks upon you
With all of his grace
You're not what you think
You're making things worse
I feel contempt for you
And your bigotry curse
What you see with your eyes
Does not make the man
Look to your heart
For things you don't understand
This world is doomed
With these things that are thought
Look to the above
And the lesson that's taught
Treat one another
As you would be treated
And this lesson in life
Will not be repeated.
No man has the right, to think he's more than another
Because of his face, religion or his color.
Black or white
Red or green
I consider you my brother
I can't believe it's come to this...?
