Colorblind

(album: For What It's Worth - 2007)

History repeats itself again
When will this all end?
And when will we begin?
I guess until you have no one left to offend

Why must we be left alone?
We'll never make it on our own
One mind, one heart, one soul to find
Another way for us to see eye to eye

When will we understand
We let ourselves down again?
And the time it takes for us to hate
Is the time it takes for this to end

Why can't we set aside these differences
Placed in our minds?
Why can't we close our eyes
And live our lives colorblind?

Look at the mess we've made
We let ourselves be ruined by our hate
It's never too late to change
Look at the ruins we create
One another we underestimate
And it's never, never to late to change

When will we understand
We let ourselves down again?
And the time it takes for us to hate
Is the time it takes for this to end

Why can't we set aside these differences
Placed in our minds?
Why can't we close our eyes
And live our lives colorblind?

What do we need to do to live in sanctuary?
Is this all really necessary?
To discriminate based on race
Our steps we must retrace
And put ourselves in each other's place
Our hearts have been misplaced

Our hearts have been misplaced
Our hearts have been misplaced
Yeah!
Look at the mess we've made
We let ourselves be ruined by our hate
It's never too late to change
Look at the ruins we create
One another we underestimate
And it's never too late to change

When will understand
We let ourselves down again?
And the time it takes for us to hate
Is the time it takes for this to end

Why can't we set aside these differences
Placed in our minds?
Why can't we close our eyes
And live our lives colorblind?
