Polar

I get a real kick out of our differences
Like red and blue
Blending together to make a beautiful purple
Over and over spilling forth our mutual beauty for the world to see
Differences don't have to mean separation
I believe we really can Rodney King it,"Can't we all just get along?"
No need for this mantra to come from abuse and injustice
But if it does, let's move forward to change the world, to walk in unity and respect
Yeah, idealistic I know, 
But I believe it should be reality
Hate is never ended with hate
No, understanding and love move us forward
My heart breaks
I truly hate the privilege I was born into
But that is outside of my control
What is in my control is using that privilege for good, for positive change
So let them look at us and wonder
Yes, let them marvel at how two people from polar worlds can come together like this
How each can inspire positivity and ambition in their distinct communities
Let them grab ahold of this spark and burn with drive and passion too
Let fires of unity burn brightly
