THERE IS THE GAP
There is the gap between men and women
There is the gap between black and white
There is the gap between father and children
There is the gap between each and every nation
There is the gap between our faith and action
There is the gap between Western and Eastern
There is the gap between rich and poor
There is the gap between art and artist
There is the gap between student and teacher
There is the gap between brother and sister
Look at a dictionary, bring a map
Point out to me, what and where is the gap?
Between fact and reality, there is nothing
We put a barrier on our hearts
We put a wall in our minds
The gap is fear, is ignorance
The gap is hate and arrogance
The gap is the devil’s whisper
Of thought and misunderstanding
We opened the door for the devil
To take away
Peace and joy in our lives
There is the gap between me and you
There is the gap between husband and wife
For no reason
The gap is everywhere
For no reason
There is the gap in everything
