How can they be so cruel,
When they call me names to hurt me,
Exception to the rule
No, they knowing nothing at all

No they dont understand,
How I could hold your hand
Will they ever understand
How I could hold your hand close to me

Oh, we know how it feels
Our love is real

Im a prisoner in this age
It wont give in easy
Theyll have to turn the page
Instead of putting you down

Needing a helping hand
Im not so different after all
Needing a promised land
So we can get along
