Human Like Me
I may not have the same skin as you
And yes my hair moves to a different tune
My eyes, I know may catch a different light
My nose, moulded with a different style in mind
But you're not a cat, I'm not a dog
You're not a fish, and I'm not a frog
You are human, stranger, yes human
Like me
I may not take the same steps as you
My voice wears a different tone when it greets the world
It's true our fingers don't leave matching marks
And yes I am aware we don't share a size
But you're not a fly, I'm not a bee
You're not a cricket, and I'm not a flea
You are human, friend, yes human
Like me
I may not have a mind that mirrors yours
It's true our hands cannot do the same work
I know our young feet never touched the same cloth
And no, my heart doesn't have your pace for the same face
But you're not the seas, I'm not the skies
You're not sunset, and I'm not sunrise
You are human, kin, yes human
Like me
Like me, you cried when you first felt air
Like me, you bleed and out comes red
Like me, you dream of getting there
Like me, you will age and leave this world, dead
You are neither darkness nor light
And I am neither day nor night
I am human, yes human
Like you
