We.
Laughter floats throughout the room
Smiles bloom off their faces and I feel consumed
Consumed in the beauty, consumed in the fact
That we are all one
We are intact
We laugh at the same jokes and commit the same wrongs
No matter where we are from, we all still belong
Belong to the same breath, air, and heartbeat
We have the same eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet
We all come from the same place, no matter where we are from
We all beat the same drum, and sing the same hum
I am you, and you are me
Once we realize this, we become free
Those imaginary lines separate us
The concept of countries we created is false
But it’s those lines and concepts that divide us
It’s us who create all this fuss
The explosions echo inside the silence
Not a voice, not the wind, not even a siren
Can be heard after the guns have done their screaming
The smoke is the only thing breathing
This image of race creates a separation
But when you look around, just see how we are one nation
Not separate nations, countries, or continents
But one race-the human race
