I would rather see our culture
Focus on our samenesses
Because focusing on our difference
Always seems to grow into diffidence
And diffidence
Breathes dissonance
Which only serves to breed
Arrogance

Because somehow we believe
That no one understands
That so many out there do
And in truth
I wanna focus on you
What is your story?

I want to know your pain and your glory
And if someone finds you boring
They're probably
Just not listening at all

And if we place labels
On the faces of water bottles
With varying radiance
Of positive and negative words
And those words serve
To formulate different types of crystals
When that water is frozen
What could we gain
If we all chose to
Focus on our lives
And the lives of others in
A positive light
And in spite of
All our differences
And because of all our pain
We chose to recognize
How much we're all the same
And what can truly be gained
By speaking in positive hues
Have I reached you?
