Are we really that different 
Don't our hearts bleed the same
Are we really that ignorant 
That we see everyone but ourselves to blame

Does our beliefs justify hate
Does our pride drive our eyes to deny
That many sit down to an empty plate
While we're still complaining why

Nothing changes with only thoughts 
Nothing grows without a planted seed
Even though wars are continuously fought 
All we really want is to be free
Freedom to be

Does a gay man make you turn away
Do you pretend not to see the homeless  
Why do we insist we're not the same
Quick to judge when we need to reassess

Do your clothes make you who you are
Does our body define the beauty of our soul
Why do our hearts seem so damn far
Hold onto compassion and never let go

Nothing changes with only thoughts 
Nothing grows without a planted seed
Even though wars are continuously fought 
All we really want is to be free
Freedom to be

Tell me how do you feel about love
Does your heart beat fast or do you feel pain
Shouldn't it be others we're thinking of
So many of us are feeling the same way

Touch your hand to the cheek of a crying stranger 
Who may be without another to hold
Close your eyes and listen to one another 
Spread a little love and watch the beauty unfold

Nothing changes with only thoughts 
Nothing grows without a planted seed
Even though wars are continuously fought 
All we really want is to be free
Freedom to be

Nothing changes with only thoughts 
Nothing grows without a planted seed
Even though wars are continuously fought 
All we really want is to be free
Freedom to be
