~Colorblind~

It doesn't matter the color of your skin...

And it's not just a game
You can't throw me away
I put all I had on the line
And I give and you take
And I played the high stakes
I've won and I've lost
But, I'm fine

Hear me say I'll rise up 'til the end
Hear me say I'll stand up for my friends
And I crash to the ground
And it's just my own sound
I drop in the blink of an eye
I'm colorblind

And your milky way fight
Won't stop my delight
You keep me and lock me away
And it's dark and it's bright
It's your colorful pride that kept me here 9000 days

Hear me say I'll see the sky again
Hear me say I'll die for you my friend
There's a noise in the crowd
But it's just my own shout
I stumble I fall and I pray

Hear you say your eyes see green again
In the end we'll lift our golden hands
Yes, we'll spark, you and I
We'll be colorblind
And these are the lives we gave

Hear me say I'll rise up 'til the end
Hear me say that I'll stand beside my friends
I won't stay on the floor
I will settle the score
I’ll stumble I’ll fall and I’ll pray

Hear me say it's time we stopped our hate
Eye to eye we see a different fate
Yes we we've conquered the war
With love at the core
I stumble I fall, but I'll stay
Colorblind

Author's Note

This song has inspired me when I first heard it. The artist is Overtone, and the words are just beautiful... Another song is "9000 days" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J1Xov0dB5Q

9000 days is a lot to ask of any writer, but the inspiration of the work does not speak for a brilliant wording, pause, halt and all the way round interesting body of work. This is something you should put in a contest.

Eye to eye we see a different fate.
A nice write.

I'm not familiar with the group or song but the message of love conquering prejudice is clear. Interesting.
