Situation

I look at you, you look afraid

I'd like to ease your mind

But I speak, you turn away

I know we're supposed to fear each other

But I feel no fear

I'd like to take away your nervousness

But I can't get near

And every situation becomes

An uncomfortable confrontation

Between two minds

Unthinking as to why

There's this nervousness between us

And I wish we'd been simply taught to trust

Cuz every man is my brother

And I must treat him as such

So come on down man

And take a look at who I am

Or are you afraid to find

A part of yourself

Inside of someone you don't understand?

I would think that to be the case

Cuz you got the same eyes

And I got the same face

We got the same blood

And we got the same flesh

So take you hate and give it a rest

Every man is my brother
