Colorblind

Iused to think
I was the same as everyone
'til i heard a word
That turned it all around

Came home from school
One day confused
Wwith who i was
I didn't understand
The hatred i had found

And in my mind
Were many questions
A child of interracial love
And i'm askin'
Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

As i grew older
I had different
Sets of friends
Tryin' to find the place
Where i could be myself

Night after night
I'd watch my parents
Go on stage
And the music always
Healed the pain i felt

And then one day
It spoke to me
And said
Use me to release
What's on your mind

Now i'm singing

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

It happens everyday
Don't want to complicate
These colors
In my picture i just find
See my view in life is different
Now i know and i can live it
But these questions
Must be answered all the time

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?

Are we so different? or
Are we the same?
Is it what we feel inside?

They say it's ignorance
But when will it change?
Do we see in black and white?
