Decide to live the same as they do?

Open arms are all that's called for
Not a case that's black or white
Pull down the walls, pull down the fences
Open minds will make this right

Open your arms to the outcasts
Acceptance is its own reward
Open your arms
Open you minds to the beauty found in contrast
