In the silence of the night, shadows whisper
Stories of pain, of hearts torn asunder
By a world that divides, by skin, by color
Where dreams are shattered, and hope is a flicker.

Eyes of innocence, tainted by fear
Wondering why hate is so near
Why love and respect are rare to appear
In a world where differences are made so clear.

Hands that reach out, only to be pushed away
Voices that cry out, yet fade in the fray
Striving for unity, in a world gone astray
Where prejudice thrives, and justice must sway.

Let us stand together, break the chains of disdain
Embrace our humanity, let compassion reign
For in the end, we are all the same
Beacons of light, in love’s eternal flame.
