Color Blind
by Beacon Light, Chase Stancle

Album: Open Eyes

Intro: Beacon Light
I guess we're color blind

Verse 1: Beacon Light
Black hand
White hand
Black man plows white man's white land
White cotton in the white fields
Black slaves with their black backs peeled
The past kills the black feet in the black night
Running fast from the black dogs with a black bite
But should I act white?
Cause what I've heard is only
Black is darkness and white is good
It's like the light right, right
Black Bible, white pages, black ink
Used wrong by the white racists, blacks think
But white mans, white plans are white washed
That's why they built these white walls
I'm praying that they might
Fall

Chorus 1: Beacon Light
I guess we're color blind
I guess we're color blind
Blinded in our sin
To all the ways of our Creator
For He made us in His image
But we all some image haters
I guess we're color blind
I guess we're color blind
Just black, just white
Mixed together all grey
We were never meant to be this way

Chorus 2: Chase Stancle
All I see
Are shades of grey
This rain pours down
My window pane
All I see
Are shades of grey
This rain pours down
My window, window pane

Verse 2: Beacon Light
Looking through this window all I ever see is pain
I guess I'll call it window pain
A white widow looking out a white window
Bit by a black widow
Ironically that's widow pain
A little poison with a little rain
A little boy was killed, his skin was stained
At least that's what they thought
And so he hangs
I once heard a white Christian man
Point the finger in his hand
At black skin and say it was the mark of Cain
Dang, so twisted
But I heard the same and yet the opposite
From a black Christian
So I guess we're all the mark of Cain
Since we kill each other we're clearly disabled, slain
I got some black family that don't even know it yet
My white family never seems to grab a hold of it
But my true kin is every tone, every color
Painted red
All my sisters and my brothers
But

Chorus: Beacon Light
I guess we're color blind
I guess we're color blind
Blinded in our sin
To all the ways of our Creator
For He made us in His image
But we all some image haters
I guess we're color blind
I guess we're color blind
Just black, just white
Mixed together all grey
We we're never meant to be this way

Chorus 2: Chase Stancle
All I see
Are shades of grey
This rain pours down
My window pane
All I see
Are shades of grey
This rain pours down
My window, window pane

Bridge: Chase Stancle
Break these chains (Break these chains, break these chains) (x2)
Break these chains Lord
Oh please
(Break these chains, break these chains)
Break these chains

Outro: Beacon Light
We need You to break these chains
It's obvious we're all enslaved
On the bottom of the see we pray
That You save us with amazing grace
We need You to break these chains
Jesus
