Student Union in World University

A mix of Beige, Cream, Brown & Black.
Different cultures, clothing, dialects -
All with the same song.
You & Me
They & Us
They don't like our skin

We are different from what they know -
What is taught.
A line then drawn across cultures dividing us down the middle.
You & Me
They & Us
They don't like our skin

Confused
Frustrated
Afraid
All over this
World University.
But not here!
Here in the Student Union of the World University. We learn, experience & we grow.
No longer confused, frustrated, bothered nor afraid. Because we know. Yes!

You & Me
They & Us
That what you punish;
That what you put down;
That what you discredit is simply what YOU fear & you alone. Fears, now the source of our strength.
Yes! I know.

You & Me
They & Us
The choice is yours or
rather, the choice is ours.
We won't take advantage, though. Just know, we'll no longer live in shadow.

You & Me
They & Us
I love our skin
It is this skin that absorbs the light - therefore We are the light. This, I know!
I now know.

You & Me
They & Us
Make yourself comfortable.
This is our home too.
You & Me
They & Us
& We are here to stay.
