We're all the Same

Why can't we put
War behind us
Are we afraid
"They" will find us?

We're all different
But still the same
We're all human
But who's to blame?

Why can't we see
Similarity?
Instead we say
He's not like me

He's not my kin
Way over there
My skin's different
And so's my hair

We don't look far
Enough inside
To see the truth
That we can't hide

I'm just like you
You're just like me
We only want
To be just free

We don't believe
In the same God
But still you can
Give him a nod

When things are rough
You don't give in
You turn to that
Which lies within

We each believe
In what we know
Why can't we share
And start to grow

Why can't we love
Ourselves down here
While God above
Is growing near?

I hope someday
That we can say
We have regard
No, it's not hard

Just look inside
It's not that far
Acknowledge what's
Inside your heart
