Straight
boy, straight girl
Secure
in your own sexuality
Why
do you suppose some folks feel so threatened by
The
LGBTQ community
Straight
boy, straight girl
You
want to love like all humanity
And
you want to be loved
See
how much you have in common with
The
LGBTQ community
We
want to leave behind the times
When
you’re never safe, when you’re not let in
Because
of your religion, your language
Your
accent or the color of your skin
But
prejudice is prejudice
Xenophobe or homophobe or member of the Klan
And
ignorance breeds hate and fear
Of
different kinds of people we don’t understand
Straight
boy, straight girl...
Some denigrate, some demonize
Different kinds of people they don't really know
It's easy when they generalize
And individuality and faces don’t show
But
when someone you know and love
Comes
out to you and shares their truth one day
Show
them they can count on you
To
be an ally and love them either way
Straight
boy, straight girl
Have
you got the courage to have an open mind
Straight
boy, straight girl
Say
you’ll be an ally for all humankind
Straight
boy, straight girl
Say
you’ll be an ally
Straight
boy, straight girl
Say
you’ll be an ally
