a cloak of darkness hangs over the earth
that claims we’re defined by the place of our birth
we don’t like from where you came
and we will never be the same

remove the cloak and now you see
that they, from there, are just like we
the more we seek to understand their ways
the sooner we will get to better days

shed the cloak and end the hate
so we can learn to tolerate
shed the light o’er all the earth
so we can see each other’s worth
