[Intro] We carry four eyes within us Two that stay hidden deep inside Unknowingly, in a fleeting moment We gaze at the world through them [Verse 1] In the mirror, just two ordinary eyes Taking in the world like everyone else But in the dark corners of the heart Another vision hides, opening quietly without a sound [Verse 2] At the unfamiliar cadence of a foreign tongue Different faiths and shades of skin A fleeting glance toward a body in discomfort All the heavy boundaries we draw between us [Chorus] (Expressive vocals) We carry four eyes within us One, two, and the pair kept out of sight Lying hidden until we least expect it Unknowingly, we view the world through them Wearing the heavy lenses of prejudice [Bridge] (Building up) Stories that are simply different, not wrongβ Why do those hidden eyes insist they are? The moment we wake to those eyes and shut them tight A true world without borders finally comes to light [Outro] (Fade out) Beyond language, faith, skin, and capability Today, I gently close those hidden eyes again So I may see the world in complete, unclouded light With only two eyesβclear and bright
