'Cause we're never gonna shine until we swallow our pride
Love's our common ground yeah, my skin is brown
Am I left to be a slave to history?
And you can't tell me that you've already tried
Am I left to be a slave to history?
Ain't no sweeter sound walls are tumblin' down
It's a tragedy all the hate I see
That changing your world means changing yourself
Gotta keep our arms open or we're never gonna fly
I can't deny it overwhelms
Questions in you are the questions in me
Yes it's a tragedy all the hate I see
Am I left to be a slave to history?
Love's our common ground yeah, my skin is brown
Love's our common ground yeah, my skin is brown
It's a tragedy all the hate I see
Love is an ocean as deep as the sky
Ain't no sweeter sound walls are tumblin' down
Ain't no sweeter sound walls are tumblin' down
And I'm no closer to answers than you are to me
