Why is hate, why is fear

Why is it so hard to break habit 

Why is love taken away 

Because of a color because of 

Habits taught, habits past, fear 

Ignorance won, people are split 

Black and white, him or her 

Never mercy 

I can’t force your heart 

But I can try to break your ignorance 

I can’t force your eyes, I can’t force you to see

But I can try to teach you, try to, heal you 

Oh, why, is habit so hard to break 

Fear cultivates ignorance and hate 

And I must suffer

Because of my color 

And we must suffer

Because we fear each other 

And why must our world suffer 

Because of the labels we place on one another 

Why is different so wrong, so wrong 

Always black and white black and white never between

Black and white he was 

In between He was human 

In between black and white he was human

Don’t forget about human 

Humans living humans fighting humans hating humans hiding humans dying 

Human, human, human, human
