Colorblind
I grew up in a town, in a home where we all got along
And our color was overlooked
I was taught that a face and a name didn't make it ok
To put somebody below the rest
Why this hatred, separation
I will never understand it, we're no better
I don't see a difference
Enough with the ignorance, wake up
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades
Well I don't care, I play fair
You guard the pedestal I wanna share
While you win and hoard your prize
I'd rather be colorblind
Noon was art, where we'd tidy our desk and begin with a canvas
As white as the winter snow
Answer this, without all of the paints and our big box of pencils
How could we have learned to create
Why this hatred, isolation
I will never understand it, they deserve better
I don't see a difference
Enough with the ignorance, wake up
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades
Well I don't care, I play fair
You guard the pedestal I wanna share
While you win and hoard your prize
I'd rather be colorblind
Red is to blue is to green is to gold
Owning a beauty that can't be controlled
Give up allow them to brighten your soul
Unfold, unfold, unfold
White is to black is to brown is to grey
Equally worthy despite what you say
Maybe you'll turn and retire your ways
Someday, someday, someday
I don't see a difference
Enough with the ignorance, wake up
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades
Well I don't care, I play fair
You guard the pedestal I wanna share
I see clear, hidden fear
Uneducated, supremacist, coward my dear
While you win and hoard your prize
I'd rather be colorblind, I'd rather be colorblind
I'd rather be colorblind, I'd rather be colorblind
And our color was overlooked
I was taught that a face and a name didn't make it ok
To put somebody below the rest
Why this hatred, separation
I will never understand it, we're no better
I don't see a difference
Enough with the ignorance, wake up
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades
Well I don't care, I play fair
You guard the pedestal I wanna share
While you win and hoard your prize
I'd rather be colorblind
Noon was art, where we'd tidy our desk and begin with a canvas
As white as the winter snow
Answer this, without all of the paints and our big box of pencils
How could we have learned to create
Why this hatred, isolation
I will never understand it, they deserve better
I don't see a difference
Enough with the ignorance, wake up
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades
Well I don't care, I play fair
You guard the pedestal I wanna share
While you win and hoard your prize
I'd rather be colorblind
Red is to blue is to green is to gold
Owning a beauty that can't be controlled
Give up allow them to brighten your soul
Unfold, unfold, unfold
White is to black is to brown is to grey
Equally worthy despite what you say
Maybe you'll turn and retire your ways
Someday, someday, someday
I don't see a difference
Enough with the ignorance, wake up
You filter by race, never learned to embrace other shades
Well I don't care, I play fair
You guard the pedestal I wanna share
I see clear, hidden fear
Uneducated, supremacist, coward my dear
While you win and hoard your prize
I'd rather be colorblind, I'd rather be colorblind
I'd rather be colorblind, I'd rather be colorblind
