Separation

If the truth is evolution
Or if God determines our blessed fate
Never mind his absolution
When it's easier to separate than release your hate

Wouldn't it be the solution
To run away from what's inside of you?
Never mind a resolution
When it's easier to cast blame on everyone but you
 
Pride is an arrogant parent
Suckling its growing prejudice child
In my mind it is transparent
And grows easier to see through the higher up it's piled

I admire all those who've tried
Whose lives demonstrated a peaceful way
Never mind our heroes who've died
When it's easier to quietly waste your life away

Don't believe everything you hear
Reject with contempt hatred they can't hide
Never mind overcoming fear
When it's easier to mask hate behind arrogant pride

Let go of your need to separate
Find a way to give back, to finally reperate
for four hundred years of never ending hate
to embrace what makes all of U.S. equally great
