Hello "T", are you going to put music to this?  I believe there is a good message here, it has some great lines.  Thanks for sharing, Best wishes,

Speak soon

Well... I definitely wrote this with a particular melody/structure in mind, it's kind of a Soundgarden meets Alice n Chains sort of thing... I'm afraid it'll be way to obvious lol. 

I'm open to suggestions 🙂

Wow, LOL, Soundgarden meets Alice n Chains, ought to be a song to remember.  I really don't have any suggestions, I working on a song with Carroll right now.  Good luck,

Best wishes

I want.... to be a friend of all colors
I'd love.. to see the pride in all nations
I want.... to welcome a world without borders
I'd love.. to share all of creation

I want to believe that all people
Truly desire to be equal

But I struggle to be
Just a soul in the crowd
Who wants to be free
But I'm not allowed
I'm not allowed

I want.... streets unstained with blood
I'd love.. for days of war to be through
I want.... to be honest and not be judged
I'd love.. to be me unafraid of you

I'd love everyone to see
How easy it is to agree

I stand right next to you
Just a soul in the crowd
Dying to tell the truth
But I'm not allowed
I'm not allowed

Crits/Collab/Re-Vamp always welcome 🙂

I love the more mellow, wistful JAPOV. For me, it took off musically half way through with the lines...

I'd love everyone to see
How easy it is to agree

That's where the melody really developed in my head. It's also the weakest part of the song lyrically for me. If it was easy to agree, we'd all be doing it 🙂

I'd love everyone to see
It's not too hard to agree

or

I'd love everyone to find
A way into each other's mind

"Just change the words a little", LOL... spoken like a consummate politician! 😉

I'm of the opinion that, at a common sense level, everyone already agrees....
