I've been around a little while
I found out a long time ago
Things ain't always black and white
Just like you can't judge a book by the cover
We all gotta be careful how we treat one another
Underneath we're all the same
Underneath we're all the same
He never called him by his name
He said ""boy do this and boy do that""
But he never once complained
he just didn't understand
That heneeded to be treated
Underneath we're all the same
Underneath we're all the same
When he was old enough to know
I said son out in this big old world
You're gonna meet all kinds of folks
but it all comes down to one simple rule
treat everybody just the way you want them to treat you
