Cameo
|
|
|
Who¡¯s this face in the mirror that I see
|
Sometimes confused by the double standards of society
|
And maybe I¡¯m wrong about the way I feel
|
But then will somebody tell me what is really real
|
|
Now I respect myself
|
I respect you too, but in the end it¡¯s got to be
|
Do unto me as I do to you
|
Now I try to tell you it¡¯s time
|
Separate our wants from our desire
|
Separate the truth from the lie
|
to live like people so inspire
|
|
It¡¯s the world who¡¯s out to see
|
we should respect humanity
|
And it one time seemed to be we could live together peacefully
|
If we have truth we can survive
|
And for that our forefathers have died
|
It should be immoral or a sin
|
If it is according to the skin I¡¯m in
|
Skin I¡¯m in
|
|
tell me how many times, how many times can i
|
Adjust my attitude to reach & touch the sky
|
Basic love is the creed by which I live
|
But then sometimes I wonder just how much a man can give
|
Gross injustices surround me from the highest levels of power
|
and you say these are the people I depend on for my survival
|
is it for real or am I seeing shadows in the dark
|
I¡¯ll let you tell me, can u tell me brother
|
tell me now
|
|
It¡¯s the world who¡¯s out to see
|
Basic respect humanity
|
I¡¯m just trying to be realistic without becoming pessimistic
|
If we have hope we can survive
|
A damn good reason to stay alive
|
Is it immoral or a sin
|
It seems to be according to the skin I¡¯m in
|
Skin I¡¯m in
|
|
It¡¯s the world who¡¯s out to see
|
Basic respect humanity
|
I¡¯m just trying to be for real in a world with less appeal
|
I'm so frustrated and flustered
|
At what has been reduced to justice
|
It is immoral or a sin
|
If it is according to the skin I¡¯m in
|
Skin I¡¯m in
|
|
One ¡¦..world¡¦. Love¡¦¡¦.people
