You think of them as lesser.
You see them as weaker.
You stomp on them,
and squeeze their dreams till they burst.
You tell them what they can't do.
You ingrain it in their heads,
they're not good enough.
You tell them they can't be something,
because of the way they were born.
You have it ingrained in your head,
They don't meet your standards
They don't have what it takes
Because they are different
But are they different?
Why aren't we celebrating differences?
Rejoicing because we're all unique?
Shouldn't we all just stop and think.?
Let us use some common sense
Stop bringing down the people of the world,
Because we are all the people of the world
And those people we hurt are all amazing
And we are all amazing
Now, If only we let them
And only if we join them,
We will be
Let us come together and unite
Because we are weaker apart
And stronger together.
