In honor of Juneteenth, I'm reposting an oldie but goodie, One Face, One Race, co-written with my bestie Lisa Marie Simmons. We wrote this as one of the last songs on my 4th album back in 2012, but it's even more appropriate today. Written from a perspective of Greek immigrants coming to Italy, but the sentiment applies to everyone-We are all the same beneath!

Often blinded by the baggage of our history
Tryin’ to keep us in our place
Relivin’ moments better left let go of misery
Change the rules we can embrace
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
We are all the same beneath
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
Abbraccia la Diversità
Our place in time is just a momentary fantasy
In this illusion we call life
So come with me to wipe away this inhumanity
Together we can make it right
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
We are all the same beneath
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
Abbraccia la Diversità
Joy (Joya)
Peace (Pace)
Love (Amore)
But all that ain’t all that
If we don’t, start to embrace
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
We are all the same beneath
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
Abbraccia la Diversità
I have a dream, where there ain’t no room for ignorance
And everyone will have a choice
The only power will be the power to make a difference
Sing it out as if one voice
One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza
We are all the same beneath One Face, One Race
Una Faccia, Una Razza Abbraccia la Diversità ... See MoreSee Less
