Let Our True Colors Show

[Verse 1] The dream of equality, it's not just a dream, yo, You don't have to be the same color to be called my bro. The haters stay up late, trying to fuel the debate, Posting negative thoughts, trying to prolong the hate. [Verse 2] Some say they don't care, others say it’s not fair, Some sit around watching it on TV in their underwear. Armchair commandos yelling, "If that were me," Speaking to their kids like they’re the authority. [Pre-Chorus] Fueling the hate for the great debate, what's it gonna take for us all to see? We are all on the same planet, we can’t work together, and we can't agree. But the truth is, the haters play me against you so we will never truly see, While they continue to steal from the planet or from you and me. [Chorus] The dream of equality, it’s not just a dream, yo, You don’t have to be the same color to be called my bro. We can rise above the hate, together we can grow, In the light of unity, let our true colors show. [Verse 3] In the old days, one voice could start the fire, Like the witch hunts burning, silencing the choir. When we stop feeding into the negative we chase, We see that greed and power aren’t bound to one race. [Pre-Chorus] The haters think they're smart, but our heads are in the sand, We can't see above the lies, they’ve planted in this land. We are just pawns in a game, footprints in the sand, All manipulated across every country’s span. [Chorus] The dream of equality, it’s not just a dream, yo, You don’t have to be the same color to be called my bro. We can rise above the hate, together we can grow, In the light of unity, let our true colors show. [Bridge] We spend our lives discussing differences, promoting pain, When we should be pointing out the ways we're the same. How can we be equal if I can't shake my brother's hand? Let’s make this dream real, not just footprints in the sand. [Chorus] The dream of equality, it’s not just a dream, yo, You don’t have to be the same color to be called my bro. We can rise above the hate, together we can grow, In the light of unity, let our true colors show. [Outro] I am picking up my hopes, and I'm gonna stay up late, Spreading love on social media, taking out the hate. We will find our peace, unity is our fate, Together we stand strong, humanity’s future great. (Let Our True Colors Show) [end]
