I’m One of You
~Everything’s been busy the last while, college has begun and I hope normal service will resume soon, in the mean time enjoy this:
So I’m one of you,
No matter what place I come from,
No matter what place I call home,
No matter whose blood
Flows each day through my veins -
It is only the power
Of mind that will reign,
No matter what language
My countrymen speak,
First of all, in a man
It’s a heart that you seek.
In this boundless world
We’re all nothing but dust,
But we all have a heart,
Able to love and to trust.
In each language these words
Mean the same as in yours.
Poor or rich, black or white -
It’s not our choice,
But for peace we will fight,
Will be heard every voice.
Since the first breath I made
Have for freedom all rights,
I’ll get over the pain
For my freedom and life.
In your sins you blame all
Who are different or weak -
That’s denying your fault,
Helplessness… don’t you think?
Fight for life, fight for all,
And you’ll get freedom, too.
In this strife for our world
I am still one of you.
