I used to think I was the same As everyone Till I heard a word That turned it all around He home from school one day Confused with who I was I didn't understand The hatred I had found And in my mind were many questions A child of interracial love And I'm asking Are we so different Or are we the same Is it what we feel inside They say it's ignorance But when will it change Do we see in black and white As I grew older I had different sets of friends Trying to find the place where I could be myself Night after night I watched my parents go on stage And the music always healed the pain I felt And then one day it spoke to me It said use me to release what's on your mind Now I'm singing Are we so different Or are we the same Is it what we feel inside They say it's ignorance But when will it change Do we see in black and white Are we so different Or are we the same Is it what we feel inside They say it's ignorance But when will it change Do we see in black and white It happens every day Don't wanna complicate These colors in my picture are just fine See my view of life is different Now I know and I can live it But these questions must be answered all the time So I'm asking you Are we so different Or are we the same Is it what we feel inside They say it's ignorance But when will it change Do we see in black and white Are we so different Or are we the same Is it what we feel inside They say it's ignorance But when will it change Do we see in black and white *
