Whatever Our Faith May Be

Just something I was trying to find words for. Finally wrote it.

------------​

Just because someone’s different
Does it force you to deny
The humanity, and become belligerent
I just want to know why
Does our heart not cry
When our brothers die?

Why is it ‘you and me’?
Why isn’t it just ‘we’?
Why can’t we all be brothers and sisters?
Whatever our faith may be

Just ‘cause someone has a beard
Means he has to be feared
Isn’t it just a lock of hair
Isn’t it better to be fair
And see what he’s hiding
Is just a glad tiding

Why is it ‘you and me’?
Why isn’t it just ‘we’?
Why can’t we all be brothers and sisters?
Whatever our faith may be

She wears a black veil
Something many feel
Is pressure and subjugation
Instead of this assumption
Why don’t you see, she’s free
For her, her worth’s not her beauty

Why is it ‘you and me’?
Why isn’t it just ‘we’?
Why can’t we all be brothers and sisters?
Whatever our faith may be

They refuse to eat pork, even a slice
For which there is, a heavy price
The drink they never employ
Ruins families and joy
Why curse them for something
Which is better for the living

Why is it ‘you and me’?
Why isn’t it just ‘we’?
Why can’t we all be brothers and sisters?
Whatever our faith may be
