It started black and white
A time of blurred sight
With a lack of light
and passage rights

Upstanders and heroes
Could be you or me
Singing a song of sweet relief
After letting my brothers free

Can we change it
or will it change us
The beginning of something
Something we never knew

Facing the past
Making it right
We will stand up and fight
We are the difference
We are the difference

Being alone
Being afraid
Being the victim
Not much has changed
Marching and singing
Doubts and fleeing
We are the same
Don’t want this pain

Can we change it
or will it change us
The beginning of something
something we never knew

Facing the past
Making it right
We will stand up and fight
We are the difference
We are the difference

We hoped for change
and took the blame
We stand for something
Not made of nothing
I am you
You are me
Here we are
A new family
I am the Difference
I am the Difference
