Phil Gawen - The Difference Lyrics

If I am different, oh not a part of
Something you are
As I am lighter than, don't speak the lingo
I'm still a part of you
Say there's a problem with my culture
Without cultural appeal
As I am half and half, I don't seem to fit into
Your scheme

All night long, we talked about the
Feelings we were hiding
We talked about a simple dream
There is no equality between us
If we choose to see a difference
There is just apocalyptic prejudice
And lines that interfere

I am no stranger to the wrath
Of false perceptions
I was not obliged to play the victim
Still I felt like I was less than them
And then it clicked and my eyes opened
To the games they played with me
And now I'm free of them
Without a drop of pity for me

All lifelong, worrying about the people
Who are hateful
Talk about it all lifelong

But if I came across this way
Then I am sorry and you are sorry too
You didn't mean to blame me for
An advantage, which I just do not see

You want to see an end to the fears
And the pain and the grief
And the cries of oppression
I do believe we are armed with the will
To succeed when we can
And we will with a reason
