Whites

I'm white as the whites of my eyes A legacy too long to feel strong in these times Is it mine Can I share it with you Would you share it with me We're caught in a war that's closer to suicide As white as the whites of my eyes As black as the souls we disguise Here and all exactly as you find us A smoke screen has been employed Here's a close up try not to choke up Meanwhile I wish us all luck This history's no mystery to me It comes to my mind we'd be better off blind in these times Where everyone counts Don't count no one out I'll shoulder some blame if it eases the pain at all As white as the whitest of lies As black as the light that we hide Bring all your colours cos we're painting the white wall in
