Middleground - 7 Seconds

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
