Different ?

In the streets, in the cities,

At school, and even at home,

There is discrimination everywhere.

 

People said I had too many differences

But I think I’m just me

There are too many disagreements

 

Family said I was a mess

That caused me stress

But I mean who’s even cared ‘bout that ?

 

Mirrors became my best enemies

I wish I could stay with my friends

But I just don’t have anyone anymore

 

Pills became my best friends

They made me feel like everything’s okay

But it was definitely not

 

I always pay attention to my heart beat

The only thing which makes me feel human

Because apparently I am different from the rest

 

In these times you feel like,

Nobody can understand,

That you’re just crazy

And that’s not a dreamlike

But just a real nightmare which makes you cry

 

Maybe one day there is going to be a real peace

Maybe some people always have hope

Maybe the times are going to change

Or maybe nothing’s gonna change

 

Before I thought someone could take my pain from me

People like me have too much hope

It took too much time to realize nobody could save me

 

They won

I think this is the best way for me

I can end everything, every problem, every pain

I need to end this life

This life’s ruined because of discrimination

Of judgement

The scars on my body show me the reality

And now I’m leaving

Bye people,

Bye world.

They thought they won

I thought this was the best way for me

It could end everything, every problem, every pain

This life, ruined because of discrimination

Of judgement

 

But now

The scars on my body show me the reality

And now

I’m living

my life to the full

to prove them

they’ve lost

 

Life is stronger than difference

Difference is stronger than death

What is love ?

 

Every time we embrace

I go to that far away place

When we just walk hand in hand

I’m in never, never land

 

Whenever I look into your eyes,

I begin to get butterflies

Then my heart skips a beat

And our lips passionately meet

 

What is love ?

 

You are always on my mind

Your face is all I can find

I think of you every day

And know it’ll work out somehow, some way

 

Some say we’re dumb and foolish

Some say we should do as we wish

But all my heart could ever do

Is tell you that I’ll always love you

 

What is love ?

 

This is love

FREEDOM

 

Without freedom, they excluded black people creating Apartheid

Without freedom, they suffered segregation

Without freedom, they were not open-minded

Without freedom, there were many tensions

 

NOW

 

Imagine the world with freedom

 

With freedom, they will live in peace

With freedom, they will celebrate victory

With freedom, we will eradicate discrimination

With freedom, everyone is relieved

With freedom, everyone hopes

 

Imagine the world with

FREEDOM

NOW

The problem

 

 

Wake up and fight against slavery

We must fight !

For us, our brother

It’s time to act

It’s not cause we’re strong outside

That we are not crying inside

Black, Chinese or White for equality

Racism is ridiculous.

 

 

CHORUS

Discrimination, segregation, division

Apartheid, legalised, oppressed

Injustice, prejudice, sexism

 

 

It’s not cause we’re different that we have to fight

It’s not cause we’re black that we are not right

Racism is bad

There’s nothing so bad

Segregation of the nation

Well know it is oppression

Where freedom is buried

But not in their memory

 

 

CHORUS

Discrimination, segregation, division

Apartheid, legalised, oppressed

Injustice, prejudice, sexism

 

Amandine & Cloé 1ère STMG10

 

 

 

We are black, not white

And I know that

We don't have the same rights as the whites

But we're not different

We want the same rights

I want a revolution, we want a revolution !

Stop segregation! Dont't forget we're not slaves!

Nowadays people are more open-minded, more tolerant

We live in a multicutural society

This is a proof that our fight was not worthless

So let's keep fighting for our honor

Let's keep going as our ancestors started

For our children to be free

And their children's children too

So that we all have the same rights

You think

 

 

You think.you are the best man

You think you can do everything

And you think blacks can do nothing.

 

By the skin color, you can choose

Choose who is a strong man or not !

And the black man? Can he choose ?

 

Your ideas are disgusting

You think blacks live life for nothing ?

But it’s just your thinking

 

Black is white

White is black

because the color changes nothing

 

 

Everybody, Africans, Europeans, White or Black

You are all the same

And I think

we’re better

all united

AGAINST RACISM
