We, The Piano
My keyboard, oh my keyboard, in the den.
First with difficulty and then with ease.
did I learn to play, before I was ten,
ebony keys beside ivory keys.
Why can't we, oh why don't we, do the same,
get along with others unlike ourselves?
Why must we point the finger, lay the blame
at others who really are like ourselves?
Could we not embrace the variety,
harmonize in diverse nationwide bands
in this, our melting pot society;
make this world a better place, if we can?
If plain and sharp and flat can harmonize,
why can't we, the human breed, be so wise?
