Differences
I wonder what the sunrise looks like upon distant lands
I wonder about the people watching it rise and how their day will be
I wonder if there's someone out there thinking of me
we may all look different,
wear different clothes
we all feel pain, all our hearts beat the same
we all feel joy, sorrow and grief
we all lay our heads down and sleep
we eat and we drink, we breathe and we think
If one day people had the courage to say,
their thoughts and their fears,
talk of our differences, and how we're the same
let go of anger, hate, ignorance and shame
one day we can give the love and acceptance we seek
And embrace all the ways we're unique
imagine how things could be,
If we could see through the eyes of a stranger
I'd see me in them and them in me,
we'd all see how similar our differences can be.
