Situation

I look at you, you look afraid
I'd like to ease your mind, but I speak, you turn away
I know we're supposed to fear each other, but I feel no fear
I'd like to take away your nervousness, but I can't get near
And, every situation becomes and uncomfortable confrontation
Between two minds unthinking as to why
There's this nervousness between us
and I wish we'd been simply taught to trust
'cause every man is my brother and I must treat him as such
So come on down man, and take a look at who I am
or are you afraid to find a part of yourself
Inside of someone you don't understand?
I would think that to be the case
'cause you got the same eyes and I got the same face
we got the same blood and we got the same flesh
so take your hate and give it a rest.
