I look at you, you look at me]
What do you see, a man or an interior being
Five hundred years oppression
lives on 'til this day
a fear of misunderstanding
divides us in every way
Can't understand, the way we live
the way we talk
the way we think
we're all the same
Understandment destroys ignorance
Please understand, the way we live
Please understand, the way we talk
Please understand, the way we think
Please understand, we're all the same
30 years ago, one man had a dream
a dream that all man, they lived equally
one day they shot him down in the streets
one man who dreamed of peace
Understandment destroys ignorance
Fighting, blood fighting for rights and oppression lives to kill
and division forms the lines that separate by violent hands
Brought to your world against our will
On lands that others have sown
Born, bred, and raised as slaves
On our backs these lands have grown
