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 inspired. Peaceful world just out to see, Basic respect, humanity, And it one time seemed to be. We can 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 Peaceful world just 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 Peaceful world just 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, One Love, One people.
