Be As!

I like music, what can I say. Today this song came to mind. *wink*

You proclaim acceptance, but do you really?

Lyrics:

Julie wants to get out of town
She needs to settle down
Move to a place where no one knows her
Lisa just had to get away
Nothing could make her stay
Tired of living under cover

Everybody knows somebody trying to get free

Be as white as you want to
Be as black as you want to
Be as brown as you want to
Don’t let anybody stop you
Be as straight as you want to
Be as gay as you want to
You can wait if you want to
We all need something to hold on to

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free
Have a little understanding and we will be

Daniel moved to another school
Alliances can be cruel
When you’re alone without nobody
Michael begged Jen to take a stand
And fight for the love they had
But she’d rather deal with being lonely
Everybody’s got somebody telling them what to be

Be as white as you want to
Be as black as you want to
Be as brown as you want to
Don’t let anybody stop you
Be as straight as you want to
Be as gay as you want to
You can wait if you want to
We all need something to hold on to

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free
Have a little understanding and we will be

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free
Have a little understanding and we will be

Be as white as you want to
Be as black as you want to
Be as brown as you want to
Don’t let anybody stop you
Be as straight as you want to
Be as gay as you want to
You can wait if you want to
We all need something to hold on to
