String Cheese Incident - Black And White lyrics

Spend our lifetime reading

books that we've been told to

Are we catching the meaning?

Are we really supposed to?

It's time that we start seeing

the shades of color between the lines

Find a true way of being

Don't you think we're wasting time

Have you heard of Douglas town?

And the Irish of another skin

A million people have died there

how come we never heard a thing?

You envision a world without chains

Listen do you hear the call?

Dr. King and those who rise and fall

Fought so hard to bring peace to all

Chorus:

Can't you see

that not everything is black and white?

Can't you see,

that we need each other's strength and might?

In this world of illusion

it's so easy to be blinded

out of created confusion

separation in minded

See if we can believe in

the truth that all our children know

It's about time we start thinking

it's not all about what we're told

Can't you see

that not everything is black and white?

Can't you feel

that we need each other's strength and might?

When we believe

that there's no need for these walls to grow

We'll all see

that it takes all colors to make this rainbow

Higher, higher, higher....(and so on)
