Xc60 - Equal Christmas Lyrics

I never thought, that the world would be like this
Polarized, unable to compromise, fight for equality
We were born the same, we are the same, just different names
We live side by side, no apartheid, we stand allied (diversified)

Baptized in their parents tears
Broken down in southern airs
Had to live in constant fears
God did not answer their prayers
Dreaming pushed us forward
We must head onward
We have a dream
A dream we will redeem

On, on Christmas Night
We must unite
Both black and white
Into the light
On, on Christmas Day
Save us from they
Who discriminate
On, on Christmas Night
We must unite
Both black and white
Into the light
On, on Christmas Day
Save us from they
Who discriminate (and all the hate)

Hey baby, it's this time of the year again
I wish you all, across all races, ethnicity, skin color, nationality, a merry Christmas
So baby, we can stand under the mistletoe and kiss, or we can fight for equality

"Racism is still with us
But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet
And, hopefully, we shall overcome"

"We need more light about each other
Light creates understanding, understanding creates love
Love creates patience, and patience creates unity"

"No struggle can ever succeed
Without women participating side by side with men"

"Before God we are all equally wise
And equally foolish"

"If we cannot now end our differences
At least we can help make the world safe for diversity"

On, on Christmas Night (on Christmas Night)
We must unite (yeah we must)
Both black and white (black and white)
Into the light
On, on Christmas Day
Save us from they (save us)
Who discriminate
On, on Christmas Night
We must unite (we must unite baby)
Both black and white (both black and white)
Into the light
On, on Christmas Day
Save us from they (yeah save us from they)
Who discriminate (and all the hate)
