Jamie Green: Music

Oneness

A song about racial unity, written with two talented inner city youths from Columbus Ohio, vocalist/rapper/producer, Apryl Dillard and rapper known as "One International"

Sometimes the love is hard to find
You can’t see rainbows in black and white
When first impressions are based in hate
An open mind is D.O.A.

Give me your hand my brother
Give me your hand my sister
I am you You are me We are one

What’s it gonna take to say such words?
Love is hard to fake and there are scars
People choose their sides and then they make their judgments upon high
And you say that’s that’s the way the world is
That’s the way the world is
But if that’s the way the world is
I’m gonna choose the side of Oneness

I can’t tell you why I feel this way
Can’t even say that I was brought up that way
I just know it deep in my soul
And I pray the day will come when we all will know 

Written by J. Green, Apryl Dillard, and the rap artist known as "One International"
