What do I see?
Different people, different sizes,
different shapes, different makes
I've never explained, I've never reasoned
But through my heart I see my reaction
Feeling the tension and the agitation
Why do I judge from the surface?
My eyes can't see beyond that layer
I don't understand them than anyone else better
But comparison makes me feel so much superior
They shed no tears from needle or blade
and they don't hide from bruises and cuts
Yet I lacerate them with discrimination
which tears through the skin and into their hearts
Looking beneath that skin for differentiation
Judging them from the colour of their blood
I see the same hue that flows inside us
Now there's no way I can segregate myself apart.
