Willfully Blind
We have been blind
We have been weak
Never looking behind
The covering sheet
Of fake smiles and lies
With evil eyes
We didn't want to see
America the beautiful
The land of the free
But not for those
Who we deem to be
Unworthy of humanity
Too poor to pursue
the happiness we think we are due
Giving you power and hiding the truth
I hear the cries of a thousand lives
Judged unworthy of love
Judged not good enough
Their blood calls to us from the ground
Buried under the feet of the proud
The forgotten ones who were stolen from
A society who wouldn't see
The innocent who begged
For a hero that didn't free them
I cannot wait for you To meet
The one who created their souls
I cannot wait for you
To face the innocent ones you stole
Justice will be done, for everyone
And eternity will be so sweet
Without the wickedness
we pretend we don't see
Go for a scroll
Down memory lane
And this way nothing will ever change
So just keep your head in your stories, your ears plugged with buds
Your screen on bright,
the sound turned way up
Pretend you don't know and you can't see
The lost broken souls for which I weep
Go for a scroll
Down memory lane
And this way nothing will ever change
Go for a scroll
Down memory lane
And this way nothing will ever change
