How do I shed the label
of a white oppressive man
Do I listen to the message
of 翱产补尘补鈥檚 鈥渊别蝉 we 肠补苍!鈥�
Perhaps 滨鈥檒濒 go out marching
With women take to the streets
Hold placards of 鈥淏濒补肠办 Lives 惭补迟迟别谤鈥�
While trying to feel their pained heart beats
Still I wonder should I feel guilty
for horrible things my race has done
Or would it not be better
If I instead loved everyone
My friends are many religions
Jewish, Muslim, Christian Too
滨鈥檝别 conversed with Jehovah witnesses
if you are Sikh I can learn from you
滨鈥檓 unconcerned with color
or the kind of clothes you wear
滨鈥檓 more interested in your story
and the heart 测辞耻鈥檙别 willing to share
顿辞苍鈥檛 see me as an enemy
Just because my skin is white
Understanding will replace our fear
Conversations can make things right
No one wants to be looked at
through the lens of a clouded eye
If you and I are both willing
a different logic will apply
In the end we are brothers and sisters
there is but one human race
Each person wants a sense of belonging
滨迟鈥檚 up to us to create that space.
