But You and I Are Really Just the Same

  I would get on a bus

A bus for Human Rights

So that every person

Can live with no

Abuse or violence

So that girls can

Live with no 

Harm

That boys can

Share the wealth

So that every human

Is equal

And no one 

Is at a loss

I would get on a bus

And travel

I will stand

On my own two feet

And I will support myself

If no one else does

I will get on a bus

For Human Rights

Hunger carves in a hole

In two opposite people

The people of power

Of gold and wealth

And the people of nothing

Nothing to live for

No food or water

People talk and talk 

About changing

What are they going to change?

Travel and listen

Don't sit and talk

I would get on a bus for 

Human Rights

So that every human can

Live without a hole

Of hunger

I would get on a bus

For Human Rights becauese

The empty, dark hole

Needs to be filled with

Light, music and art

So that every word

Can be hear

And no one is ignored

And there is no empty hole

Every talks but no one

Does

Will you?
