So different from me?
**Is it my skin of pale pink,** **Or my eyes of sky blue,** **That ultimately makes me,** **So different from you?**

**Is it my laugh or my giggle,** **Or the work that I do,** **That ultimately makes me,** **So different from you?**

**Maybe it’s the sound my voice makes,** **Or where my blood line runs through,** **That ultimately makes me,** **So different from you.**

**Your ancestors came here by boat,** **Looking to be free.** **As did mine too,** **How much different from me?**

**I say its you that’s different.** **It’s the way you believe.** **The power you have,** **That you never achieved.**

**It’s the world that we live in,** **Full of corruption and fear,** **That makes you dishonor my life,** **No matter how I appear.**

**Its my kind that deserves it all,** **The riches, the power, the fame.** **“You’re a locus at best.** **You only have your family to blame”**

**So its me that stands here,** **With my hand extended to thee** **And maybe one day,** **We can ALL roam our lands.** **Together and free.**
