Different strokes for different folks some say
While other people will insist upon their right-of-way
But differences will only bring strife and disharmony
When the difference is all that we can see
When you draw a dividing line, it only divides
As you reinforce that line, you'll find you've created sides
And the world we share turns round
And the sun so warmly shines
But love cannot be found
When we draw dividing lines.

You hear an opinion and then assume it’s true
You’re told a story that’s interpreted for you
From a second-hand experience you form a whole world-view
Well, I wonder what a little understanding could do…

We don't choose - the color of our skin
Or the way that we need love - so can't we just begin
To look beyond our differences and work for a brighter day
Why hate or fear what nobody can change anyway?

Cause when you cross that dividing line
You’ve been hiding behind
I think you're gonna find you’ve just erased that line
The differences you cannot change will fade from your view
And the world becomes a better place
Just waiting to welcome you.
