Lyrics

Color Blind
  
(Dr.MLK Jr: I Have A Dream; August 1963 archival recording)
  
When A million people
Are living out of sight
Wide awake and filled with fear
When corporations
Have more rights
Liberty just disappears
Look around
Search high and low 
Smoke and mirrors can't you see?
And the answers
They don't want found
While we repeat our history

And we're not color blind
Ya, we've seen the signs
And, we are shamefully aware
When it comes to skin
And the one you're in
A little shade
So little care
 
(President John F. Kennedy: Ask Not; 1961
archival recording)
 
A million people
Standing up tonight
As injustice appears
The indication, they're rolling back the times
Join the peaceful gathered near
Look around
Search high and low
We're a riddle can't you see?
And the answer
They don't want found
By keeping you away from me
 And we're not color blind
Ya, we've have seen the signs
And we are shamefully aware
And when it comes to skin
And the one you're in
A little shade
So little care
A little shade
So little care
Don't we care?

And we're not color blind
Ya we see the signs
And we are shamefully aware
And when it comes to skin
And the one you're in
A little shade
So little care
And we're not color blind
Ya we see the signs
And we are shamefully aware
And when it comes to skin
And the one you're in
A little shade
So little care
  
(Miss Ella Jo Baker: Puerto Rico Solidarity Rally; 1974
archival recording)
