Would you judge me
By the clothes I wear?
The color of my skin
Or the length of my hair?
Would you judge me
By my past mistakes?
Or view them as errs
That everyone makes?
Would you judge me
By the songs that I sing?
Even though in your heart
Their joy will ring?
Would you judge me
By the path I walk?
Would you shame me
With your damning talk?
Would you judge me
For the choices I make?
Would it be comforting to know
My spirit can break?
Would you judge me
Or would you forgive?
Would you call for my death
Or allow me to live?
Would you judge me
For my faith?
Would you call the Spirit
A mythical wraith?
Would you judge me
Or try to understand?
Would you truly listen
Or ignore my proffered hand?
Would you judge me
For being true?
What if you looked at me
... And saw you?
Would you judge me?
