about

World beat rhythmic feel to this upbeat song about breaking down stereotypes and prejudice so that we realize we are all in this world together. Maybe I'm just like you.

lyrics

Just Like You
(by John Beccia)


You can’t judge me by the clothes I’m wearing
They won’t give you any kind of clue
It’s not hard to see your eyes are staring
Know in time you just might find that I am just like you

CHORUS - Maybe I’m just like you
Maybe I’m just like you-ou-ou-ou- ou-ou-ou-ou

Don’t misjudge me by the shade of my skin
Only judge me by the things I do
If you really try to know where I’ve been
Know in time you just might find that I am just like you
REPEAT CHORUS

Try to reach for the realization
Try to break through the mind that’s closed
Try to see through the generalizations
Can’t you see the problems that they pose?

Don’t you judge me by the way my hair looks
Only judge me by what you find’s true
When you search beyond the cover of books
Know in time you just might find that I am just like you
REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

You can’t judge me by my country’s actions
See beyond the nationalistic veiw
Though there’s many differences and factions
Know in time you just might find that I am just like you
REPEAT CHORUS

Try to get past the stereotyping
Try to see through the social game
Try to break down the media hyping
We might find that we are all the same

Don’t condemn me based upon religion
Christian, Buddhist, Atheist, or Jew
We must work to gain a new world vision
Know in time you just might find that I am just like you
REPEAT CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Prejudices, they are man-created
There can never be a chosen few
Can’t we learn that we are all related
Know in time you just might find that I am just like you
REPEAT CHORUS
