Who’s this face in the mirror, that I see
Sometimes confused by the double standards of society
And maybe I’m wrong about the way I feel
But then will somebody tell me, what is really real

Now I respect myself, I respect you too, but in the end it’s got to be
Do unto me, as I do to you, now I'm trin' to tell you it’s time
Separate our wants from our desire, separate the truth from the lie
To live like people so inspire

It’s the world who’s out to see, they seek respect humanity
And then at one time seemed to be, we can live together peacefully
If we have truth we can survive and for that our forefathers have died
It should be immoral or a sin, if it is according to the skin I’m in
Skin I’m in

Tell me how many times, how many times can I
Adjust my at***ude to reach and touch the sky
Basic love is the creed by which I live
But then sometimes I wonder just how much a man can give

Gross injustices surround me from the highest levels of power
And you say these are the people I depend on for my survival
Is it for real or am I seeing shadows in the dark
I’ll let you tell me, can you tell me brother, tell me now

It’s the world who’s out to see, they seek respect humanity
I’m just trying to be realistic without becoming pessimistic
If we have hope we can survive, a damn good reason to stay alive
Is it immoral or a sin, it seems to be according to the skin I’m in
Skin I’m in

World love people
World love people
World love people

It’s the world who’s out to see, theye should respect humanity
I’m just trying to be for real in a world with less appeal
I'm so frustrated and [Incomprehensible]
It is immoral or a sin, if it is according to the skin I’m in
Skin I’m in
