Difference Our Guide (w/m Jim Proctor)
Justice now, that is what we’re fighting for
Right the wrongs of generations gone before
Power to the powerless
Overthrow those who oppress.
Dignity, that is what we’re fighting for
Why can’t you see our plain old faces anymore?
They’ve got it hard, but we do too
So we vote red if you vote blue.
So, warriors, fight for justice and for dignity
Don’t be confused, that person’s not your enemy
Your differences, they will remain
But fight as one and be the change.
(Bridge) We can’t keep doing what we’ve done
This battle will be never won…
(Refrain) We are not the same
We come from different sides
Let us listen to each other
Let difference be our guide.
No matter who you’re fighting for
There’s not a soul you can ignore.
(Bridge)
(Refrain)
