Lyrics Colorblind - Genesis

Most of you know of a story of a white girl - had a best friend
Her family - she loved them, but she couldn't tell them
About this little brown boy - she loved him too
But somehow, she knew they just wouldn't understand
Well this ain't that
This ain't that story painted white and black
Red, brown, yellow, grey - there's only one fellow race
That is humanity. Let's open the canopy
Uncover those colorblind eyes - begin to realize
The damage that we have done when a "fetus" dies
From murder - aka, the process of abortion
Why on Earth would you ever want to abort him
Sucked him out the womb while he was sucking on his thumb
Didn't even give a second thought - it was done
Doing it for convenience - cuz you really didn't mean it
Called the act a slip when you slipped onto his
That one time you stayed out too late - and was date raped
Or was grooving at the club - was looking for some love
And in the heat of moments let him and her push up on it
But don't judge me. Look, I'm just trying to do me
Don't you see, I want to have my fun while I am young
I want to taste every single pleasure of the tongue
I want to beat every single treasure from the drum
Eliminate the moral compass - severed, feeling numb
Degenerate to core, cut forever from the Son
Lord have grace
Why do I feel this way about life or death
Why do I steal an kill Your life breath
Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy
I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind
Why do I feel this way about life or death
Why do I steal an kill Your life breath
Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy
I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind
We're in a microwave culture
Waiting impatiently like God ain't at the pace where He's suppose ta - be
But God is not sluggish towards His promises like most of
Y'all have believed - if you do, then you're deceived
People tend to remain colorblind to the facts that
Mainstream media sub-lime light can distract that
Gain green! Go on, fill your pockets up with the strapped stacks
That's all that really matters, as the death toll is shattered
Call it what it is - kids that never had a chance
Justify the sin that is due to circumstance
Got to rise above them - know the power's in your hands
Don't let the culture lullaby you into a trance
Some predicaments are bad, yet you still have a choice
To give a life a chance and to give the child a voice
It's really not a sacrifice. Your life was never yours
So think of what you could say when you enter Heaven's gates
Tell the angels in the choir, "Hey, here I come"
I want to hear every single measure that was sung
Heart of flesh beating love and never feeling numb
Regenerated to the core, forever with the Son
Lord had grace
Why do I feel this way about life or death
Why do I steal an kill Your life breath
Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy
I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind
Why do I feel this way about life or death
Why do I steal an kill Your life breath
Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy
I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind
I know this subject is really touchy, but truth, yeah well it hurts sometimes
I know some may get really fussy, but murder is a certain crime
That's coming from the One who loved us first - now see it through His eyes
No matter how you slice the pie, a helpless little person dies
No one is trying to lock you up in chains except the enemy
Always trying to redefine the lane of what a sin would be
Got you second guessing in your brain what you pretend to be
Trying to get your view on things the way you weren't meant to see
The Heavenly Father gives life, so the breath of life is precious
The logic is, since life's the gift of God, we should protect it
And guard it close, as if it was our own, and not neglect it
The laws of God are set and for our good, so let's respect it
Don't try to go around His will by other means or methods
Lord, remove the hearts of stone of those who have rejected
Your Word, Your will, Your bond. And those who follow are the blessed
Turn to Christ. You're not alone! I hope you get the message
Why do I feel this way about life or death
Why do I steal an kill Your life breath
Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy
I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind
Why do I feel this way about life or death
Why do I steal an kill Your life breath
Why can't I see it's the work of the enemy
I can't see he's lying. Is love colorblind
