Are you? We live in a world on fire One driven by non-inclusive desires The 60s made a comeback, the situation is dire Before we get our start, we're down to the wire For instance We know the facts, yet we told they ain't true We take offense to almost all that we do We kill ourselves yeah, without any ruth We all exclaim, "What are we gonna do?" Well I know, one way or another, we can find our way to peace I know, If we could love each other Color and commonality Lord, I see the burns, at every turn We so polarized, we can't even earn Peace is for what we yearn, not to mention some truth I'm at peace with myself. The world should be too Because Although it seems we've got nothing at all We have another chance to tear down this wall Brace through it all as long as we stand tall Remember we got the power to make that call I know, one way or another, we can find our way to peace I know, If we could love each other Color and commonality Through these hard times, we've made it this far The fact we're alive is reason to bailar We are here to connect, not stay in this car We gotta step out, find common ground, wherever we are Find common ground, wherever we are Ya see, I don't have all the answers to these questions I'm really just a person wondering just like you I don't have all the answers to these questions But what's important is that We're searching, finding, discovering, deconstructing Seeing how we got to be where we now are And most importantly, that we're always doing two things And that's loving, and progressing Ya know, one thing realized when I was in Europe is that really The skies looked the same as they would anywhere back home I concluded that really, the skies don't belong to just one nation In fact like, scientificly speaking, they don't even spin at the same rate as the rest of the Earth What I really mean is, your sky is my sky, my sky is yours We don't individually own parts of the sky... US skies don't look much different than Chinese or Indian, European, Ethiopian or Australian skies... So we collectively own all of the sky Life is precious Even if you think of someone as being less worthy to live than you And you feel you want to supress them, or even kill them Before you set them below yourself, talk to them, interact with them See what makes them special -- see what makes their life precious just like yours You may be surprised at how significant they now seem to be to you And don't think of yourself as less just because you may feel like Someone else is quote-on-quote "better" than you That's a lie, because you are just as special in a different, but just as equal way You grow, you learn, you get new things You are not a finished product until you're six feet under You are always growing, and always a masterpiece Like Jessica said -- Perfectly incomplete And I know, there may have been people who did you or your people wrong before But if you get stabbed in the back, one of the strongest and most mature things you can do Is to take the knife out and put it away so no one else can hurt you Get to know them and how they got got to where they felt they wanted to hurt you They could understand where you come from from having that conversation That is how -- that is really how people make amends That is how people overcome struggles in their lives Understanding, and communication are two keys to living lives well lived, all 7.5 billion of us! Manchester and London were perfect examples of what I'm talking about They loved themselves, put the knives away, and they responded with love... and art I made this mixtape in part because I know the power of art And what it can do for the mind and the soul It can heal, it can connect, it can love We live to love and progress, so do what you love, love who you love And as for the oppressed, You don't have to feel unloved There's someone out there that really genuinely cares for you I mean that I mean, if there really is no one you know that loves you, just know that... well I do You're special You matter If not to everybody, then at least to me I love you
