Two men at the alter: he's black and I'm white
Gay and interracial - do two 'wrongs' make a right ?
Society picks out everything they can find
Any characteristic that they deem incorrect
Relationships, historical buildings and frogs
Is there anything these people won't dissect ?
I look down at the front rows, reserved for my family
I try to imagine the seats are filled
With my grandparents, cousins and other relatives
I'd picture them approving... but my mind's not that skilled
Because in my head I can clearly remember
The expressions of disgust, and then the mock smiles
The excuses they used to explain their absences -
Imaginary doctor appointments, holidays and court trials
I had always desired a partner who had
All those traits I myself do not possess
Emotional stability, strength and the rest
But now that I've found him I'm still under stress
Because wherever we go, to the movies, out to dinner
There are people who simply cannot help but point and stare
And as tight as he holds me and whispers not to worry,
The constant cold looks and bad talk are almost too much to bear
Why should any relationship in which two people are one
Be judged so unfairly by people who are 'above' ?
If we were all blind would our appearence even matter ?
Do races have different hearts ? What colour is love ?
Two men at the alter: he's black and I'm white
Gay and interracial - do two 'wrongs' make a right ?
