_ _ _ _ _ You and I, _ _ _ we are strangers by one chromosome, _ _ enslaved through the [C#] hormones, _ _ [D] body [E] and soul,
_ _ _ _ in a struggle to be [C#] [D] happy and free, _ [A] [E] swimming in a _ primitive _ sea.

_ _ _ _ _ You and I, _ [A] _ _ we are [E] pressed into these solitudes, _ _ color and culture, _ [A] _ language [E] and race,
