They're afraid, of what we might do
They're afraid, that the kindness we show is a lie
They're afraid, that the gossip is true
They're afraid, that there is something behind the smiles of you and I

You and I, who are we? People who believe in something they don't want to accept
You and I, we are innocents, children, fathers, mothers, families, same as they 
They, who are they? People who assume but don't know how they affect
You and I, we get hurt not understanding why they think the same for everyday
They don't look for the truth left,
untouched left astray

They're afraid, they don't think before they glare
They're afraid, they don't know how it hurts
They're afraid, of what we wear?
They're afraid, of the truth they always divert.

What it means to be you and I?
It means to be strong
Not let our emotions fly
It means to show them they are wrong
Not to have a fit and let go of a dream that's status is so high
But to hold on to it like a thought that's constantly plaguing your mind.

You and I, we believe in peace
You and I, we don't want war
You and I, we believe in harmony
You and I, we'll fight till we score.
You and I, we are, American Muslims
