| Who's this face in the mirror that I see
|
| Sometimes confused by the double standards of society
|
| And maybe I'm wrong about the way I feel
|
| But then, will somebody tell me what is really real?
|
| Now I respect myself
|
| I respect you too but in the end it's got to be
|
| Do unto me as I do to you
|
| Now I try to tell you it's time
|
| Separate our wants from our desire
|
| Separate the truth from the lie
|
| To live like people so inspire
|
| It's the world who's out to see
|
| We should respect humanity
|
| And it one time seemed to be
|
| We could live together peacefully
|
| If we have truth we can survive
|
| And for that our forefathers have died
|
| It should be immoral or a sin
|
| If it is according to the skin I'm in, skin I'm in
|
| Tell me how many times, how many times can I
|
| Adjust my attitude to reach and touch the sky
|
| Basic love is the creed by which I live
|
| But then sometimes I wonder, just how much a man can give
|
| Gross injustices surround me from the highest levels of power
|
| And you say these are the people I depend on for my survival
|
| Is it for real or am I seeing shadows in the dark
|
| I'll let you tell me, can you tell me brother, tell me now
|
| It's the world who's out to see
|
| We should respect humanity
|
| I'm just trying to be realistic
|
| Without becoming pessimistic
|
| If we have hope we can survive
|
| A damn good reason to stay alive
|
| Is it immoral or a sin
|
| It seems to be according to the skin I'm in, skin I'm in
|
| One world, one love, one people
|
| One world, one love, one people
|
| One world, one love, one people
|
| Love has to be for one world and one man, yeah
|
| It's the world who's out to see
|
| They should respect humanity
|
| I'm just trying to be for real
|
| In a world with less appeal
|
| I'm so frustrated and flustered
|
| At what has been riddence to justice
|
| Is it immoral or a sin
|
| If it is according to the skin you're in, skin you're in |
