The Difference Between Us Lyrics

When first we met
I saw your lovely eyes look into mine
Then dart away for just an instant
To the part of me that says is different
Embarrassed, you try to hide the fact that you've noticed
You would not want to hurt my feelings
How drollSpeak it out
The question I read in your eyes
Why is he set this way apart from me
Is there really a pointed difference between us
If you this question pose to me
I'll answer you as best I can
Although the limits of your mind will not adjust to compute the technicalities
Of my world's inheritanceFor Vulcan is not your mother Earth
It is the world I grew up in
As far removed from yours as worlds can be
The wonder is that I communicate with you at allFor deep within me
Are the differences you cannot see

The differences that are my shields against the love and hate
That weaken you and make you vulnerable
And yet
I will admit
There stirs in me a curiosity to know these feelings
For if just once I could command the change in me
And come to know them
Perhaps I'd comprehend what makes you what you are
And in reverse
If you could live for just a moment
In my world
And recognize what makes me what I am
Perhaps that would the catalyst be
To harmonize the difference between you and me
