Colorblind - Emily King

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 askin'

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

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

And the music always healed the pain I felt

And then one day it spoke to me

And said Use me to release what's on your mind

Now I'm singin'

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 in life is different

Now I know and I can live it

But these questions must be answered all the time

So I'm askin' you

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
