In the world, there are walls
That divide us one by one
Some are born into privilege
While others struggle just to run
The absence of equality
Is a gap we can't ignore
It keeps us from finding unity
And strips us of what we're fighting for
The color of skin, the gender we bear
Has no bearing on what we deserve
Yet society continues to compare
And in our hearts, we're left to observe
As those in power tighten their grip
And those without a voice are cast aside
The absence of equality takes hold
And we're left with nowhere to hide
But we won't be defeated
We'll keep fighting day by day
For a world where love and respect reign
And our differences no longer keep us at bay
