As Red As Your Own

As Red As Your Own

We were created as children of God

Now excuse me for asking but you're not from here

Your voice it sounds different your words are not clear

I can tell by your accent you're not from my land

Your manner of speech sir I can't understand

There's no other person that sounds just like you

There's no one that sounds just like me yes it's true

We're all very different yet still much the same

Respect me for my tongue and I'll do the same

We eat when we're hungry we drink when we're dry

We laugh when we're happy in sad times we cry

We long to feel needed not left all alone

If you cut me my blood runs as red as your own

We were created in the image of God

I can't help but notice the clothes that you wear

They're so different from my clothes the cut of your hair

And your skin is as different from mine as can be

Some say we're not equal but I disagree

There's no other person that looks just like you

There's no one that looks just like me yes it's true

We're all very different yet still much the same

Respect me for my looks and I'll do the same

We eat when we're hungry we drink when we're dry

We laugh when we're happy in sad times we cry

We long to feel needed not left all alone

If you cut me my blood runs as red as your own

We were created to worship our God

Our worth is not measured by the color of our skin

It comes from the LORD if our faith is in Him

Just look at creation and then you will see

God made us all different just like you and me

There's no other person that lives just like you

There's no one that lives just like me yes it's true

We're all very different yet still much the same

Respect me for my life and I'll do the same

We eat when we're hungry we drink when we're dry

We laugh when we're happy in sad times we cry

We long to feel needed not left all alone

If you cut me my blood runs as red as your own

We were created as children of God
