Come and Open Your Eyes (Take a Look)

Come and open your eyes

Come and open them wide

Turn your eyes from the outside in

You'd better take another look inside

I know you're young and eager

And young and angry

And you see a better world in you

But you'd better stop hatin' without thinkin'

Or ya gonna be guilty too

Take a look in your head

Tell me, what do you see?

Is it filled with another man's thoughts

That told you that you shouldn't like me?

You can like me or hate me

However you're inclined

But hatin' without reason

Messes up your mind

Better open up your eyes

Or you're gonna leave your mind behind

Do you know what you hate?

Does it wear a name?

Do you separate feelin' from facts

Or do they all jumble up the same?

You gotta look for more than sandals

Or a copy of a book of protest songs

Take a second look

And you'd better take a deep one

Or you're gonna lose the ground you've gained

Come and open your eyes
