for me to shake your hand and look you
in the eye to show you love and respect
i believe this will begin
to stand next to you and feel
like we both belong
where our differences bring
us together to show the world
we are one
i believe this will begin
to look around and see the
joy in faces, hear the love,
and feel the beauty
to have "you" and "you" and "you"
equal "us"
i believe this will begin
where hunger will be no more,
suffering a distant memory,
abuse erased,
and injustice made equal,
i believe this will begin
for me to pass no judgement
on you and for you to trust
in who i am
where we see our God in the
person staring back at us
i believe this will begin
when we help a stranger
and treat them like a brother
when we recognize the worth
in all human persons
when we love with all
that we have
when we remember all people
are created equal
when we open ourselves
to continue learning from others
when we create a world
full of peace
when we strive to be the
best we can be
i believe this will begin
