I had a sudden thought
carrying my way down the Great Path.
The cause of the problems facing today
has nothing much else to do with me.
Down a road of black and white i overlook the grey
It might disturb the rose-colored glass
between me and what my heart has to say
Thought this bridge was covered long ago
Thought the patch wouldn't leak
Thought my features wouldn't bleach out and fade away
Thought this map was discovered
understood we're brothers
I forgot how we bleed eachother
chorus:
But it's easy to see the duller shade of a brilliant color
if it's perfect for me
but wouldn't that leave me closer to dishonesty.
I had a sudden dream of a life ripped away at its very own seams
And the cause of that problem facing today
has all and everything to do with her skin
I've seen a side to human beings that rarely sees the daylight
but wouldn't it take a certain being to speak up for unity's plight?
Thought this bridge was covered long ago
Thought the patch wouldn't leak
Thought my features wouldn't bleach out and fade away
from me
thought this map was discovered
understood we're brothers
I forget how we bleed eachother
chorus
But it's easy to laugh at who I'm told I'll never be
But it's perfect you see
Cause who I am may never even ever come to me
