Colorblind

I used 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 with 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 asking

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 (yeah)

Night after night, I'd watch my parents go on stage, ooh

And the music always healed the pain I felt, oh

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 of life is different

Now I know and I can live it

But these questions must be answered all the time

So I'm asking you

Are we so different, or are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside? (Is it what we feel inside?)

They say it's ignorance, but when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?

Tell me, tell me, oh

Are we so different, or are we the same?

Is it what we feel inside? (Is it what we feel inside?)

They say it's ignorance, but when will it change?

Do we see in black and white?

(Take a look at each other, what do we see?)
