Alien Shore

<br>You and I, we are strangers by one chromosome<br>Slave to the hormone, body and soul<br>In a struggle to be happy and free<br>Swimming in a primitive sea<br><br>You and I, we must dive below the surface<br>A world of red neon, and ultramarine<br>Shining bridges on the ocean floor<br>Reaching to the alien shore<br><br>For you and me--Sex is not a competition<br>For you and me--Sex is not a job description<br>For you and me--We agree<br><br>You and I, we are pressed into these solitudes<br>Color and culture, language and race<br>Just variations on a theme<br>Islands in a much larger stream<br><br>For you and me--Race is not a competition<br>For you and me--Race is not a definition<br>For you and me--We agree<br><br>Reaching for the alien shore<br><br>You and I, we reject these narrow attitudes<br>We add to each other, like a coral reef<br>Building bridges on the ocean floor<br>Reaching for the alien shore<br><br>For you and me--We hold these truths to be self-evident<br>For you and me--We`d elect each other president<br>For you and me--We might agree<br>But that`s just us<br><br>Reaching for the alien shore
