|
Spend our lifetime reading |
|
books that we've been told to |
|
Are we catching the meaning? |
|
Are we really supposed to? |
|
It's time that we start seeing |
|
the shades of color between the lines |
|
Find a true way of being |
|
Don't you think we're wasting time |
|
Have you heard of Douglas town? |
|
And the Irish of another skin |
|
A million people have died there |
|
how come we never heard a thing? |
|
You envision a world without chains |
|
Listen do you hear the call? |
|
Dr. King and those who rise and fall |
|
Fought so hard to bring peace to all |
|
Chorus: |
|
Can't you see |
|
that not everything is black and white? |
|
Can't you see, |
|
that we need each other's strength and might? |
|
In this world of illusion |
|
it's so easy to be blinded |
|
out of created confusion |
|
separation in minded |
|
See if we can believe in |
|
the truth that all our children know |
|
It's about time we start thinking |
|
it's not all about what we're told |
|
Can't you see |
|
that not everything is black and white? |
|
Can't you feel |
|
that we need each other's strength and might? |
|
When we believe |
|
that there's no need for these walls to grow |
|
We'll all see |
|
that it takes all colors to make this rainbow |
|
Higher, higher, higher....(and so on) |
