[Verse 1] You sit behind your polished glass And judge the way the shadows pass You hold your rules up like a shield And wonder why the rest don't yield You call it blind, you call it wrong When someone doesn't sing your song [Pre-Chorus] But every mind is built of stone and sea A different history A different key [Chorus] WIDEN THE LENS! OPEN THE DOOR! WE ARE NOT FIGHTING THIS WAR ANYMORE! Stop demanding they look through your eyes Stop turning differences into a prize To understand is a heavier grace Than winning a race [Verse 2] It's easier to point and shame To give the stranger's world a name To lock the door and keep them out And build a fortress of your doubt But empathy is hard and slow It takes a willingness to grow [Chorus] WIDEN THE LENS! OPEN THE DOOR! WE ARE NOT FIGHTING THIS WAR ANYMORE! Stop demanding they look through your eyes Stop turning differences into a prize To understand is a heavier grace Than winning a race [Bridge] Maybe they walked a harder road Maybe they carry a different load Before you judge the path they chose Remember everything it rose from [Final Chorus] WIDEN THE LENS! OPEN THE DOOR! WE ARE NOT FIGHTING THIS WAR ANYMORE! Stop demanding they look through your eyes Stop turning differences into a prize To understand is a heavier grace Than winning a race [Outro] Reach across Step outside Meet them where they are
