The Aids Stigma song - The AIDS SONG video clip


 

No one is to blame because I’m just the same

As the people you meet when you walk down the street

We all have a purpose, a life to fulfill

Though some may be healthy and some may be ill

The trouble that hides in me couldn’t be worse

The illness inside me is more like a curse

For I have a virus and AIDS is its name

But don’t turn away from me, I’m not to blame

There are viruses, illnesses, cancers, disease

That can wrestle the strongest of men to his knees

But of all the diseases that cut short one’s life

Only AIDS has a stigma that cuts like a knife

   No, don’t turn away from him, don’t try to hide

   From the person who suffers this sickness inside

   No, don’t turn away for the sake of a name

   For you know, deep inside, we are all just the same

And always remember that though this is true

It doesn’t make me less a person than you

So try to be loving and don’t criticise

Though the stigma may burn in society’s eyes

Yes, the virus may be in the blood in my veins

But I’m just like you, we’re all just the same

I’m still the same person I was yesterday

So next time you see me, please don’t turn away

Remember there’s no one this virus ignores

Though you’ve locked up your houses and bolted the doors

Remember the powerful key that you hold

That opens the heart and brings hope to the soul

   No, don’t turn away, be a friend, understand

   No matter what happens a man’s still a man

   And I call from the heart that beats deep in my breast

   Be loving and patient and look for the best
