How can they be so cruel,

When they call me names to hurt me,

Exception to the rule

No, they knowing nothing at all



No they don't understand,

How I could hold your hand

Will they ever understand

How I could hold your hand close to me



Oh, we know how it feels

Our love is real



I'm a prisoner in this age

It won't give in easy

They'll have to turn the page

Instead of putting you down



Needing a helping hand

I'm not so different after all

Needing a promised land

So we can get along
