LYRICS
REALIZE (BEAUTY IN OUR EYES)
Scan the video see the news.
The people you watch all wear your shoes.
What do we thank for this small feat?
The earth it moves, but we can barely speak.
Realize, we wander under sacred skies,
So comfortable in our disguise.
Too blind to realize… The beauty in our eyes.
So fluent in sin, so blank of face-
Too blind to realize we are just one race.
Time to knock down those doors,
And clear those shelves.
When we embrace each other,
We embrace ourselves.
Realize, we wander under sacred skies.
So comfortable in our disguise
Too reassured of our demise-
Get wise, and open up those eyes-
Keep ’em looking for a greater prize-
Keep ’em looking out to the skies.
It’s time we realize… The beauty in our eyes.
Look at the stars- they shine so bright!
Why do they shine on such a lonely night?
Come, we’ll watch them together,
It’ll be so sweet.
We’ll loosen those ties,
Then we can leave our feet.
Realize, we wander under sacred skies.
So comfortable in our disguise
Too reassured of our demise-
Get wise, and open up those eyes-
Keep ’em looking for a greater prize-
Keep ’em looking out to the skies.
It’s time we realize… The beauty in our eyes.
