One Billion of Those People

As we go through life we can get knocked down.
We can be bullied, we can hurt, we can be beaten to the ground.
But all throughout this just remember something true,
one of those people aren’t worth one of you.

Through the smiles and the frowns that fall on our face,
through the ups and the downs we must embrace.
No matter the amount of discrimination you might go through,
ten of those people aren’t worth one of you.

You might have hit rock bottom and can’t find a reason to be glad.
You might be finding yourself in a constant state of sad.
It might seem like too much and there’s one choice left to do,
one hundred of those people aren’t worth one of you.


The exact meaning for this can be taken any way,
it’s meant for all to hear, whether you’re black or white, straight or gay.
Keep it locked in your heart for you to always view,
one million of those people aren’t worth one of you.

It will always get better so keep your head held high,
dear soul you are loved so much, please try.
Shout it from the top of your lungs next time you’re feeling blue,
one billion of those people aren’t worth one of you.
