Viva a Diferença

The disturbed prevail
While the affected get sick
Loose words that annoy
Hope after a prayer
A people with withdrawal crisis
Looking for an explanation for existence
In a world where appearance is valued more
Has its consequence

Black, white, rich, poor
The blood is of the same color
We are all equal
We feel warmth, joy, and pain
Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Allah
Speed Black prophesied

Our God is one
Various names for the same creator
I care little about your ethnicity
Religion, belief, philosophy
Absorbing wisdom
Developing my day-to-day

In this world few things are certain
Love, luck, death, the life we lead
From south to north, from Asia to America
If to err is human, the mistake sets you free
Be what you have to be, be what you want to be
Dust off, dust off, dust off
Be what you want to be
Dust off, dust off, dust off
Be what you have to

Veiled prejudice
Has the same effect, same damage
Affected reasoning
Saying one thing and being on the other side
If time is king, let's wait for the law
Everything I've been through never intimidated me
I've suffered, I've won, I've learned, I've taught
They tried to suffocate me but I breathed
There are so many unhappy people
Ashamed of natural beauty
Just another apprentice
Hiding behind a virtual life
Fat, black, blonde, whatever it may be
Thin, saint, crazy, we are the strength and power
Enough, stop, let's go, lift your head and see
Come here, live, feel, whatever you want you can be

In this world few things are certain
Love, luck, death, the life we lead
From south to north, from Asia to America
If to err is human, the mistake sets you free

Be what you have to be, be what you want to be
Dust off, dust off, dust off
Be what you want to be
Dust off, dust off, dust off
Be what you have to be
