If I showed up at your door
Begging for water to stay alive
Would you turn me away
Because I'm not on your side
If I was starving for kindness
Would you throw dirt in my face
If I was begging for a chance
Would you say I'm the wrong race
Why's it so hard
For two strangers to meet
Going round the world
To cross the street
If you heard lies about me
Would you spread the lies too
If you saw someone hurt me
Would you walk away and never tell
If I was friends with your enemy
Would you want to kill me
If you and I disagree
Will our friendship be through
Why's it so hard
For two strangers to meet
Going round the world
To cross the street
, to cross the street
If I lived on the streets
Would you pass by me and laugh
If I was asking for sympathy
Would your words cut me in half
If we let our egos die
We would stop anger and misery
If we could open up

Our eyes
Will change history
Why's it so hard
For two strangers to meet
Going round the world
To cross the street
Why's it so hard
For two strangers
To meet
Going round the world
To cross the street
Going round the world
