Today I took a walk (0:47)
by Beverly
 

Today I took a walk
And I stumbled upon a little gray pebble
Its name is ignorance
And when I held it close to my ear it tom me that it can grow
I asked to see this feat and sure enough after I placed it next to fear
It became a massive stone called prejudice
Prejudice is tricky, it can hide itself right under your feet, under your skin, in your voice
And you don't really notice it until you trip over it
and fall into hatred
