Open Your Eyes

We live in a world
Where everyone's different
Different race, different skin color
And different identities
But you have to open your eyes

We live in a world
Where things are unclear,
Questions unanswered,
Everyone has their own worlds
But you have to open your eyes

Everyone may be different
Everyone may seem unique
But there's one thing
That you should think about
And you have to open your eyes

Man or woman,
Gay or straight,
We all have feelings
There should be no boundaries
When we talk about love
That's why you should open your eyes

We live in a world
Where we're judged by what we wear
And by who we're with
But that shouldn't stop us

We live in a world
Where we all should be equal,
But we're wrong if we swear
And we're wrong if we're gay
You should open your eyes

Everyone may be different,
Everyone may seem unique
But there's one thing
That you should think about
And you have to open your eyes

Man or woman,
Gay or straight,
We all have feelings
There should be no boundaries
When we talk about love
And that's why you should open your eyes.
