If I was you and you were me,
I could understand what you see.
I would know how you think and feel,
If your actions were false or real.
If that tear is from joy or grief,
And how to better offer relief.
If I should love you or turn you away,
Tell you to go or ask you to stay.
But I am me and you are you,
So this is what I think we should do.
Put yourself in the other's place,
And greet the world with a smiling face.
Try to understand and appreciate,
And love each other before it's too late.
