America needs to look deeper.

Ignorance looms too large, causin' problems to go steeper.

How can you judge a person by their skin tone? Na, you cant cause, you don't even know them

Would you dare to go to their home? Care to ask them where they were grown?

What might bring a tear to their eye? Maybe I don't care, but why?

I always pass them by...Guess, I never caught their eye.


Are we not in the same pot? Melting patriotically, almost have nots.

Have we been trained to ignore,

that what's more is the same than the differences we adore?

Maybe solutions are in the social setting, where questions can be asked,

and information you be getting.

Stop and catch the eye of someone other than your own.

Share feelings and watch, as understanding is grown.


God's givin us new ways to show us who we are.

Time to change the media, so true intentions can get that far through to ya.

Yea, new ways to catch my eye.

I be catchin' yours, if you be catchin' Mine.

Thoughtful and beautifully wise.
Differences are enriching, never should they divide us. Yes, God shows the ways ...
