THE MAN INSIDE THE SHELL

Think in the best way

On the outside we look different
Nature made us to be this way
Cause' imagine if we were all the same
It would just be dissaray

So what if a man's got different skin
Be it yellow, black or white
Who gave you the right to hate this man
Why you're just a pitiful sight

Cause' beneath each skin a heart beats
Most are good, though some are bad
But it's the man inside the shell that counts
And the feelings he has had

So before you go and judge someone
On the basis of their skin
Remember someday you may be judged
When you stand in front of him

Cause the Lord he said "Vengeance is mine"
And he may have plans for you
As he sends you back to another life
In the skin you never knew

So try to look at you're fellow man
With a heart purged free of hate
And then someday you may find your peace
When you enter through Gods gate
