If I Live to Be a Hundred...

And I'm getting there real fast - far faster than I ever dreamed.
I'll never understand some of the unrealistic prejudices that scream
From every area of our globe and every color and every creed.
Usually this bias is handed down to generations and their seed.

Someone has got to wise up and break down this utter nonsense.
You're never gonna find everything and everyone the same. Since
That's not the way God intended it to be. Can you imagine if that were true?
Course, you may think it would be an improvement if we were all like you,

But if and when you saw yourself in others coming back at you
Everywhere you turned, you'd start to see in a hurry, just exactly how you
Appear to the world. We each have to understand why and how we all came to be.
The way we look, think and manage, you'd be glad that everyone is not "like thee".
