Colorblind
Everyone comes in different colors, the world is set in stone
And those who see it differently, we disregard and leave alone
We accuse them of being colorblind, mistaking brown for green
What if we are the colorblind ones, and they can truly see?
Imagine that we could see as they do:
The sky looks orange, the pumpkins blue
People look like negatives, turned inside out and tinted wrong.
But in a world of twisted color, we find harmonic song
Shades of gray run together, purple takes on blue
Variations of one color become a single hue.
Perhaps to make the world a better place to be,
We only need to be more colorblind, and then we’ll truly see.
