V1
Only 8 years old
Red BMX on an old dirt road
He called her and asked her to play

Introduced his friend
A braided haired girl with dark brown skin
But his family had something to say

Deep sadness in her eyes
the moment she realized
they saw a 
CH
Difference, a difference
That was the day that shook his innocence
Her skin was kissed by the sun
Never thought it would offend anyone
But, there was a difference
a difference, a difference 
V2
The first day at school
She tried to fit in, tried to play it cool,
She just hoped that someone would care

As he sat with her
He heard the laughs and the whispers 
but the worst part was feeling their stares 

Deep sadness in her eyes
the moment she realized
they saw a 
Ch
Difference, a difference
That was the day he lost his innocence
Her skin was kissed by the sun
Never thought it would offend anyone
But, there was a difference
a difference

Bridge
She was his best friend, 
the best thing in his life
They loved they had a...
Ch
Difference, a difference
He wished that the world was full of innocence 
Her skin was kissed by the sun
Never thought it would offend anyone
Yes, there was a difference
a difference
