Only Human

We live in a world that is divided
By ethnicity and religion, we're all misguided
This is a very important message so listen up
And don't turn away cause you need to know this stuff
We got the same organs, we got the same bones
We've got the same basic domes that allow us to think
We're all the same inside, that's what makes us great
Why is the outside the only thing that you hate?
You feel like they're inferior because of their looks
Well I can tell for yourself you don't have a good hook
Racism rearing its ugly head, teaching us to believe
In our own skin color when there should be unity
I don't believe in supremacy, I believe in modesty
And maybe there's a future where everybody is friendly
But for now, we have to fight the threat at hand
Don't forget this important fact, you're only human

Whether you're african, caucasian, latino or asian
Don't forget, you're only human
Whether you're indian, muslim or native american
Don't forget, you're only human
If you happen to be going through problems of your own.
Don't forget, you're only human
And if you happen to be lost in the world today
Don't' forget, you're only human

Now why can't more people just be like me
Inclusive and accepting, seeing past their skin
Witnessing the true beauty that is within
If you believe in stereotypes, you're letting racism win
It's a wondrous thing, embracing who they are
The culture, the food, it's like a bazaar
I've tasted so many things, my taste buds are divine
You should really take the plunge, the water's fine
We live the same lives as everybody else
Give yourself the chance to see their inner selves
Don't put them down because they're not like you
Instead do your part and give a helping hand
Forget the propaganda, be a human for once
Don't be a dunce who follows what they do or say
That's not the way we're going to solve this problem
We're only human inside, that's the bottom line

Whether you're african, caucasian, latino or asian
Don't forget, you're only human
Whether you're indian, muslim or native american
Don't forget, you're only human
If you happen to be going through problems of your own...
Don't forget, you're only human
And if you happen to be lost in the world today
Don't' forget, you're only human

I'm serious, this racism has taken its toll
I know people are sayin' it's an impossible goal
But I'm tired of being forced to act white
Being ignorant and happy, that's just awful trife
You should be free to be who you want to be
But if you're a racist or fascist then I'll ask you to leave
For I don't want to be around negativity
Especially those who do the salute of a nazi
This mentality of us and them has got to stop
So does the abuse of power by them cops
You're only human, take a step back and realize
Don't let the mind fall for them manipulative lies
And listen to your heart, it's the most honest of them all
Let's not let divisiveness be our downfall
Stand up and resist, fight for what's right
And don't stop, persist with all of your might
