If we spent as much time
Building people up
As we do, breaking people down
If we spent as much time
Asking them who they are
As we do assuming
They don't know themselves
If we could just remember
The positive actions
That brought our strength back
But we get caught in the stereotypes
Of a discriminatory world
Trapped behind the prejudices
of the common assembly
And the problem is in the hostile environment
Created by poison tongues
And the painful steps we climb
Hoping that our world will change
