lyrics
Blind, (eyes wide open) Final
Verse 1
Eyes wide open, still we are blind
Lots of people getting left behind
What’s the future for you and me??
What’s the future for humanity??
Chorus:
Tell me why can’t you see?
Oh why can’t we see?
Do we choose to be blind??
And we don’t mind!!
And we don’t mind!!
Verse 2:
Sitting in a room, feeling alone…
All I want, is a place to call Home…
We’re all part of the Human Race…
Justice shouldn’t be about the colour of your Face??
Chorus:
Tell me why can’t we see?
Oh why can’t we see?
Do we choose to be blind??
And we don’t mind!!
And we don’t mind!!
Verse 3:
Powerful corruption, many issues,
Too much pain, and not enough tissues!!
Many communities are left Unhealthy,
Is it because that they’re not wealthy!!
Chorus:
Tell me why can’t you see?
Oh why can’t we see?
Do we choose to be blind??
And we don’t mind!!
And we don’t mind!!
Verse Outro clapping/music
Eyes wide open, still we are blind
Lots of people getting left behind
What’s the future for you and me??
What’s the future for humanity??
Tell me why can’t you see?
Oh why can’t we see?
Do we choose to be blind??
And we don’t mind!!
And we don’t mind!!
