Sound & Sense: Chapter 16

I Am Not Different

Why do you hate me?
I am just like every other little girl.
I go to school, I eat my vegetables,
I even do house chores!

Why do you hate me?
I am just like your daughter.
I laugh with my friends, I jump rope outside,
I run around without a care in the world.

Why do you hate me?
I am just like every other human being.
I breathe the same air, I live in the same neighborhood,
I even sing the same songs.

Why do you hate me?
Why am I hiding?
Where are my parents?
When will this end?

Oh, it's because I'm Jewish?
But we speak the same language, we have the same God.
I am you, and you are me.
But I guess that
doesn't matter
anymore...
