I look at you, you look afraid



I'd like to ease your mind



But I speak, you turn away



I know we're supposed to fear each other



But I feel no fear



I'd like to take away your nervousness



But I can't get near

And every situation becomes



An uncomfortable confrontation



Between two minds



Unthinking as to why



There's this nervousness between us



And I wish we'd been simply taught to trust



Cuz every man is my brother



And I must treat him as such

So come on down man



And take a look at who I am



Or are you afraid to find



A part of yourself



Inside of someone you don't understand?



I would think that to be the case



Cuz you got the same eyes



And I got the same face



We got the same blood



And we got the same flesh



So take you hate and give it a rest

Every man is my brother
