I don't know why
Some birds don't fly
I guess they all have their ways

I know the Lord makes no mistakes

I don't know why

Some people try
To throw stones at others' homes
To teach them right from wrong


But what if you knew me personally
If I struck a chord

What if you saw me
Vivid and clearly
Would I be ignored


If we could talk
We both could listen

Understand how we are different

Then maybe we could see

That we are the same

I don't know why

Fear swells inside
When we are faced with difference
This world is too small to be scared of it


If we could talk
We both could listen

Understand how we are different

Then maybe we could see

We are the same
