Lyrics: Jem. Down to Earth. Your Hands.

Put on your clothes,
I know whats underneath
You think youre separate from
everyone, but its just
from yourself
Without all the colors in the
world, thered be no picture
We are interwoven more than
youll ever know

So I say

Please stop talking to me
I dont agree
How would you like it
Just 'cause the color of my
skins the same no you
dont know me
How would you like it
Please stop, stop right there
with your hypocrisy
Dont wanna hear it
You dont realize if you take
away any one of us
We all fall down now

I wanted to write this a
long time ago
But I thought someone would
say who are you to
speak of this
Well Ive got eyes and ears
and a heart and I can feel it
And it pains me more than you
will ever know

And I say

Please stop talking to me
I dont agree
How would you like it
Just cause the color of my
skins the same well you

dont know me
How would you like it
Please stop, stop right there
with your hypocrisy
Dont wanna hear it
You dont realize if you take
away any one of us
We all fall down now

So sad, so sad

Its said we wouldnt know
love without hate
Id really rather just have
the love
Im tired of our history
repeating enough is enough
Enough is enough
Please stop talking

Please stop talking to me
I dont agree
How would you like it
Just cause the color of my
skins the same well you
dont know me
How would you like it
Oh, shame, shame,
shame on you and
your profanity

Cant stand to hear it
Dont you realize if you take
away any one of us
We all fall down now

In the end lifell go on and on
But I for one am clear
were all brothers and sisters

Down to Earth
