Love knows no color

It’s the content of the character
Not the color of the skin
It’s not the features of the packaging
But the soul that lies within
We all feel passion and we all feel pain
We have the same blood running through our veins

Love knows no color
Love knows no color
Love knows no color
No color but red

But somehow still the conversation stalls
On which lives matter more
Rage and bitterness consume the street
People dying by the score
Some use the politics of color to divide
Why not draw attention to the things we share inside

Love knows no color
Love knows no color
Love knows no color
No color but red

With the Speeches on the beaches
Who walked like brothers on the sand
Dr. Seuss taught us a lesson even children understand
Don’t place yourself above another 
Just to feed your foolish pride
Some folks wear their stars inside

It’s the content of the character
It’s the love within the soul
It’s a lesson that we should have learned
So many years ago
We heard the urgent call of Martin Luther King
And though they struck his body down
His spirit still does sing

Love knows no color….
