Whites
Whites of My Eyes: A Poignant Reflection on History and Unity
Lyrics
I'm white as the whites of my eyes
I am as white as the whites of my eyes.
A legacy too long to feel strong in these times
There is a long-standing legacy that doesn't make me feel strong in the current times.
Is it mine
Is this legacy mine?
Can I share it with you
Can I share this legacy with you?
Would you share it with me
Are you willing to share your legacy with me?
We're caught in a war that's closer to suicide
We are involved in a war that feels like a path towards self-destruction.
As white as the whites of my eyes
I am as white as the whites of my eyes.
As black as the souls we disguise
We are as black as the souls we hide behind.
Here and all exactly as you find us
We are here, exactly as you find us.
A smoke screen has been employed
A smoke screen has been used to conceal something.
Here's a close up try not to choke up
Here's a close-up, try not to be emotionally overwhelmed.
Meanwhile I wish us all luck
Meanwhile, I wish all of us luck.
This history's no mystery to me
This history is not a mystery to me.
It comes to my mind we'd be better off blind in these times
It comes to my mind that we would be better off being blind in these troubled times.
Where everyone counts
Everyone is significant; don't exclude anyone.
Don't count no one out
Don't disregard anyone.
I'll shoulder some blame if it eases the pain at all
I am willing to take some blame if it helps alleviate the pain for all.
As white as the whitest of lies
I am as white as the whitest of lies.
As black as the light that we hide
We are as black as the hidden truth or darkness.
Bring all your colours cos we're painting the white wall in
Bring all your colors because we are painting the white wall in.
