I used to think I was the same as everyonen'Til I heard a word that turned it all aroundnCame home from school one day confused with who I wasnI didn't understand the hatred I had foundnnAnd in my mind were many questionsnA child of interracial lovenAnd I'm askin'nnAre we so different? OrnAre we the same?nIs it what we feel inside?nThey say it's ignorancenBut when will it change?nDo we see in black and white?nnAs I grew older I had different sets of friendsnTryin' to find the place where I could be myselfnNight after night I'd watch my parents go on stagenAnd the music always healed the pain I feltnnAnd then one day it spoke to menAnd said, Use me to release what's on your mindnNow I'm singin'nnAre we so different? OrnAre we the same?nIs it what we feel inside?nThey say it's ignorancenBut when will it change?nDo we see in black and white?nnAre we so different? OrnAre we the same?nIs it what we feel inside?nThey say it's ignorancenBut when will it change?nDo we see in black and white?nnIt happens everydaynDon't want to complicatenThese colors in my picture I just findnSee my view in life is differentnNow I know and I can live itnBut these questions must be answered all the timennSo I'm askin' younAre we so different? OrnAre we the same?nIs it what we feel inside?nThey say it's ignorancenBut when will it change?nDo we see in black and white?nnAre we so different? OrnAre we the same?nIs it what we feel inside?nThey say it's ignorancenBut when will it change?nDo we see in black and white?
