"Universal Love"

Love should be universal
Expressing it should be a right
Denying same sex relations
Is not written in black and white 

Whether you are young or old
No matter where you come from
Experiencing hatred stings
Just like a single shot of rum

No one should be left behind
Every one of us is the same
Do not change who you are
You are not the one to blame

Love whoever you choose to
No matter the color of skin
A man loving another man
Should not be considered a sin

Protecting one's well being
Is a government responsibility 
They have failed at the task
But you have a supporter in me

Grab the hand of your lover
Let your voice be heard
Don't let them silence you
Staying quiet is just absurd

You are perfect in your own way
We are all bright superstars
We won't take cruelty anymore
We will proudly show our scars

We do not ask for very much
Just view us the same as you
Thought we overcame the past
But I guess that is not true

Don't treat us as different
As if we are the outcast
We don't wanna be the victim
Give us something that will last

Does not seem fair or right
To live life as if it were a lie
Had to tolerate name calling
Now you will not see me cry

Won't stop the fighting
Until I start to see a change
I'm not the one who is wrong
Don't want to be seen as strange

Just want to see acceptance
Be treated in a positive way
I don't show hatred to anyone
Don't see why I have to pay
