Splitting the Difference

we are different,

you and I,

not the colour of our skins

deeper than that,

our needs differ, our wants too

the hopes, wishes, dreams fandango

our secret searches, our Eldorados

so don’t feel guilty

I don’t see why you should

me neither, it’s not my fault

you haven’t reached your destination

I don’t blame you for my lack of achievement

we just tread a different path

along the same road

you see different scenery

I hear different birdsong,

you feel different rhythms

so let’s agree on one thing

there’s little we can do

we are different

you and I
