Same, same but different

Everybody says please don’t worry

Cos you know that you’re just one of us

Why am I?

Same, same but different

We talk the same way

But there’s always something that you never wanna say

 

They say it’s best if it’s left alone

Shouldn’t talk cos it’s set in stone

But I can’t help it

Because I’ve seen something deep behind my mothers eyes

And now that I’m fully grown

All I see is a world that’s cold

They divide, they disguise and decide

What the future may hold

 

And I, can’t lie, cos I see it

But when it comes, you’re gonna feel it too

So please, don’t try, to deceive me

Cos I’ve been asking questions why

Man it’s so damn hard to describe

Why am I?

 

Same, same but different

Everybody says please don’t worry

Cos you know that you’re just one of us

Why am I?

Same, same but different

We talk the same way

But there’s always something that you never wanna say

 

Let’s take it back for a moment now

When I was too young to know about

The kinda hate that my father had to take just to make an honest wage

And soon enough it was brought to light

That by my colour I am defined

Even though they don’t know anything about me

Tell me, is it right?

 

And I, can’t lie, cos I see it

But when it comes, you’re gonna feel it too

So please, don’t try, to deceive me

Cos I’ve been asking questions why

Man it’s so damn hard to describe

Why am I?

 

Same, same but different

Everybody says please don’t worry

Cos you know that you’re just one of us

Why am I?

Same, same but different

We talk the same way

But there’s always something that you never wanna say
