Situation

I look at you, you look afraid
 I'd like to ease your mind
 But I speak, you turn away
 I know we're supposed to fear each other
 But I feel no fear
 I'd like to take away your nervousness
 But I can't get near
 And every situation becomes
 An uncomfortable confrontation
 Between two minds
 Unthinking as to why
 There's this nervousness between us
 And I wish we'd been simply taught to trust
 Cuz every man is my brother
 And I must treat him as such
 So come on down man
 And take a look at who I am
 Or are you afraid to find
 A part of yourself
 Inside of someone you don't understand?
 I would think that to be the case
 Cuz you got the same eyes
 And I got the same face
 We got the same blood
 And we got the same flesh
 So take you hate and give it a rest
 Every man is my brother
