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
