As human beings we share this space So can't we see in every face A line of moments breathing still Building to this present will To survive? A history Mightier than bigotry A line of love and blood and flesh Music, dancing, feasting, s** Anger, sorrow, envy, joy Boasting, humbling, chasing, coy In Jasper, Texas, or Laramie High school heart or refugee Is there some place on this great earth Where one can love and quench one's thirst And cool one's face And hold one's mate Free and safe From fear-filled hate?
