Going Around the World To Cross the Street
If I showed up at your door beggin' for water, stayin' alive
Would you turn me away because I'm not on your side
If I was starvin' for kindness would you throw dirt in my face
If I was beggin' for a chance would you say I'm the wrong race
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
If you heard lies about me
Would you spread the lies too
If you saw someone hurt me
Would you walk away and never tell
If I was friends with your enemy
Would you want to kill me too
If you and I disagree
Will our friendship be through
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
If I lived on the streets
Would you pass by me and laugh
If I was askin' for sympathy
Would your words cut me in half
If we let our egos die
We would stop anger and misery
If we could open our eyes
We'll change history
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
Would you turn me away because I'm not on your side
If I was starvin' for kindness would you throw dirt in my face
If I was beggin' for a chance would you say I'm the wrong race
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
If you heard lies about me
Would you spread the lies too
If you saw someone hurt me
Would you walk away and never tell
If I was friends with your enemy
Would you want to kill me too
If you and I disagree
Will our friendship be through
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
If I lived on the streets
Would you pass by me and laugh
If I was askin' for sympathy
Would your words cut me in half
If we let our egos die
We would stop anger and misery
If we could open our eyes
We'll change history
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
Why's it so hard for two strangers to meet
Goin' round the world to cross the street
