Open Your Eyes

I am the witness of the light
Burn all your weapons, stopp the fight
Don’t turn your backs on one who’s not the same
Fear is the monster, make it tame

There’s too much hatred, be at peace
With yourselves and other people
This is our release

Help your sister lend a hand
Help your brother understand
Live for your freedom to choose what’s right
Discrimination we must fight

Won’t you help me get stronger?
With strength we unite
Won’t you help me get stronger?
With wisdom we fight
Won’t you help me get stronger?
Open your eyes

There’s too much hatred, be at peace
With yourselves and other people
This is our release
There’s too much hatred, be at peace
With yourselves and other people
This is our release
