The Same Team

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We’re on the same pitch,
We have the goals,
We’re on the same team.
We have the same referee,
We wear the same shirt,
So why are we treated by our colour?
Whether black, white or brown,
It’s how you kick the ball that counts.
I bet even Martians are different shades of green,
And it doesn’t bother them.
