color blind

there's not a world of difference

out in the world tonight

between this world of people

red

yellow

black and white

but instead of riding a rainbow of love

we still are fighting with prejudice gloves of anger

with something to claim

but nothing to gain

so

why can't we be colour blind?

you know we should be living together

and we'd find a reason and rhyme

i know we would

'cause we could see better

if we could be colour blind

somebody's just assuming

he's up to nothing good

'cause he's not like the others

there goes the neighbourhood

what kind of world are we living in

when we judge a man by the tone of his skin

it's crazy

'cause he has a heart

like you have a heart and

why can't we be colour blind?

you know we should be living together

and we'd find a reason and rhyme

i know we would

'cause we could see better

if we could be colour blind

it'd be so fine

to be colour blind

to open our eyes

and see colour blind

i know this world would be a better place

the only race would be the human race

all of those barriers would be erased

why can't we be colour blind?

he has a heart like you have a heart

why can't we be colour blind?

you know we should be living together

and we'd find a reason and rhyme

i know we would

'cause we could see better

if we could be colour blind
