We Should Never Turn Our Backs


They're red and they're yellow
they're white and they're black,
and for these differences alone
we oft turn our back?

What's wrong with us people
is it that we just cannot see,
they're just common folks
they're like you and like me.

Some are gay and some straight
some disabled as well
and when they're not quite like us
it seems we often repel.

Some are skinny some fat
and some are not so good looking,
but if you look deep inside
you'll find something stunning.

They're just people like us,
inside we're the same.
We've all been born of a woman
and given a name.

We must give each a chance
from the very first start
looking past their outsides
and search for their heart.

The heart has a habit
that will often reveal
the innermost person
the one with appeal.
