They have have hearts
Just like you and me

Some are painted black
By the sorrow in their life

Some a painted white
By the indifference of the bearer

Some are painted red
By the raw humanness in their chambers

Some are painted pink
By the unconditional love they feel

Some are painted grey brownish
By the loss of life
By the loss of hope
By the loss of everything

We need to avoid that fate
We need to avoid the hate
We need to avoid the death

We are gonna die
I know that
You know that
They know that

We just need to avoid dying premature
Dying because of the hate
Dying because of the sickness
Dying because of the indifference

We need to live
We need to change
We need to hope
We need to paint all the hearts pink
