Color Blind World

Look closely in the mirror and tell me what you see
Is it a man so different or someone just like me?
Shed covers race and color and see only your dreams
Same as mine so tell me what that truly means?

Look deep into my eyes and see my point of view
I promise if you shoot me I’ll bleed the same as you
Don’t judge me by my color I know you feel remorse
The truth is my life matters just as much as yours.

I wish we could turn the winds of time
Get our second chance press stop and then rewind
Find our peace of mind and leave it all behind
I wish the world we live in would be color-blind.

Look past judgment and hate don’t make the same mistakes
My pain’s the same and when I feel it like yours my body aches
I am human I am no savage my soul isn’t wild
I am a father I am a brother I am someone’s child.

I wish we could turn the winds of time
Get our second chance press stop and then rewind
Find our peace of mind and leave it all behind
I wish the world we live in would be color-blind.

There is no need for cruel oppression see me beyond the veil of race
We’re both coming from the same place we’re sharing the same space
And if we must be different colors different reflections of light
The blue should then protect the black as it does the white.

I wish we could turn the winds of time
Get our second chance press stop and then rewind
Find our peace of mind and leave it all behind
I wish the world we live in would be color-blind.
