Through the Eye of the Beholder Lyrics


It starts when you're young

Unaware of the hate

It slowly passed down

As a family trait

The first visible signs

Start as a game

Then you take it too far

And make another feel shame.

Remember kids in school

That brought torrent and pain

They strike at the soul

Until the pride is drained.

No man has the right, to think he's more than another

Because of his face, religion or his color.

Black or white,

Red or green,

I consider you my brother

I can't believe it's come to this

We're killing one another

You walk through life

Like it was owed to you

You spread the disease

By the things you say and do

"How did he get my job"

"It must be because he's black"

At the Mcra! fiber

You make your attack

These feelings of hate

Are turning man against man

You live the worst world war

By the message you send

No man has the right, to think he's more than another

Because of his face, religion or his color.

Why do you think you are

The superior race

And god looks upon you

With all of his grace

You're not what you think

You're making things worse

I feel contempt for you

And your bigotry curse

What you see with your eyes

Does not make the man

Look to your heart

For things you don't understand

This world is doomed

With these things that are thought

Look to the above

And the lesson that's taught

Treat one another

As you would be treated

And this lesson in life

Will not be repeated.

No man has the right, to think he's more than another

Because of his face, religion or his color.

Black or white

Red or green

I consider you my brother

I can't believe it's come to this...?
