Are we not human?do we not have feelings Why is it so many say we no belong Do we not listen to words of a song I cast my eyes to the heavens above Asking my God to send us love Are we not human?with a heart and soul Do we not look upon others as being whole My people suffer from hate and lies Spread by the one with the hollow eyes Look deep in my eyes and you will see True love and compassion flowing free Are we not human?do we not belong In this world of peace there is wrong My people suffer and they die Asking only for a chance to smile not cry My people only want to be free live in harmony Come to America braking the bonds of slavery I hope some day it all come true Love and peace bestowed on both me and you My people know hate has no place to hide We only know love putting our anger aside We are all human we all must belong
