7 Seconds — Middleground lyrics

Lyrics

All my days in so many ways I’ve seen it This prejudice I’ve seen it twist and turn
I’ve cried at thoughts of not bein' able to stop it And now I ache away for it’s here so strong today
What are you organizing for?
Put up another door
Just stop and look around
Say you must see
The blindness we have here
You say you’ve heard it all before
And you’ll hear it again
Just go ahead and close us off
But you’ll still feel the pain that you create
Our peace comes from within
And I think war does too
Believe in love and you’ll get what is due
Skin, yellow, red, brown, black and white
Can’t stop to see that no, no Only single hearts and minds inside our heads
What are you organizing for?
Put up another door
Just stop and look around
Say you must see
The blindness we have here
You say you’ve heard it all before
And you’ll hear it again
Just go ahead and close us off
But you’ll still feel the pain that you create
Oh Gandhi, when you look at us Does your heart ache?
How could you think that
Peace in this world has a place?
Well, I believe in peace not pride or race
To set our future days, future ways
And I can only hope
We don’t keep blowin' it all away
What are you organizing for?
Put up another door
Just stop and look around
Say you must see
The blindness we have here
You say you’ve heard it all before
And you’ll hear it again
Just go ahead and close us off
But you’ll still feel the pain that you create
