Whether you come from the throws of anxiety
Of day to day stress and high stakes highways
Or the frustration of realization of our own human limitations
Whether your skin is purple blue green yellow or mahogany
Our hands are the same and you can rely on me
To reach out with mine, to open your eyes, while still respecting your boundaries
For each soul who’s felt burdened so heavy with baggage
For each person weighed down with the weight of “being average”
each number they're counting, you’re more than a percentage
No matter if you come with or without privilege money or fame
No matter if you forget until you’ve forgotten your very own name
If you come from a land that’s a whole different place
Whether you put your faith in religion, yourself, our whole world, or have lost faith
Whether you see yourself as something different
Or you love somebody who maybe isn’t who everybody else wants you to choose
If You need a smile or a accepting shrug
Whether you seek books or a heartfelt hug
You are human
And humans are made to be loved.
