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.

This is a song I wrote for my Writing 2010 Repurposing assignment.
