I look at this world that is so full of hate
And pray to powers that be it is not too late
That people will learn of everything they do not know
And stop teaching their kids to hate as they grow
Teach them to be strong and to have an open mind
To look deep inside others and see what it is they find
Just because we are different doesn't mean we are bad
We bleed when we are cut, we cry when we are sad
Difference is good it makes us all to be unique
From the way we dress to the way we all speak
Who is to say what is normal, who really knows
look it up in the dictionary it will only show
What society considers to be the norm O yeah right
Society has its difference they keep them out of sight
They choose to hate what they don't want to understand
People shouldn't hide, We should all make a stand
They teach their kids to hate so they will be like them
Another zombie with their differences locked within
Do they know they are killing them or is that OK
to kill individuality with the cruel things they say
words of hate for a color skin or because we are gay
and if it was their child would they feel the same way
i believe the saying is do onto others as you want onto you
so does that mean I should hate you for all you do
Or should i just pity you for being who you are
With that much hate you will never get very far
You will never know freedom as hate has you in a cage
And you will soon suffer from your own rage....
