I used to think I was the same as everyone

'Til I heard a word that turned it all around



Came home from school one day confused with who I was

I didn't understand the hatred I had found



And in my mind were many questions

A child of interracial love

And I'm askin'

Are we so different? or

Are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside?



They say it's ignorance

But when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?



As I grew older I had different sets of friends

Tryin' to find the place where I could be myself



Night after night I'd watch my parents go on stage

And the music always healed the pain I felt



And then one day it spoke to me

And said, "Use me to release what's on your mind."



Now I'm singing ... .



Are we so different? or

Are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside?



They say it's ignorance

But when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?



Are we so different? or

Are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside?



They say it's ignorance

But when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?



It happens everyday

Don't want to complicate these colors in my picture I just find

See my view in life is different

Now I know and I can live it

But these questions must be answered all the time



Are we so different? or

Are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside?



They say it's ignorance

But when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?



Are we so different? or

Are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside?



They say it's ignorance

But when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?
