Open your eyes

A man opens the door of his car

Reaches inside to grab his license

Shots in the night, a cry, then silence

What was his color?


A headline in the news

Talking about self defense

They thought he was armed

In light of his color


Open up your eyes

Tell me that you see it now

Show me that you know the truth

When faced with all these lies

Open up your eyes

The difference between right and wrong

No matter if you're weak or strong

There is no other side


A family huddled close together

Hiding quietly in the dark

Border patrol lights flashing bright

Do they stay together?


A call to build more walls

To protect our families from harm

Making us great again

Cause patriots stand together


So open up your eyes

Tell me that you see it now

Show me that you know the truth

When faced with all these lies

Open up your eyes

The difference between right and wrong

No matter if you're red or blue

There is no other side


Water from a tap

Foul with metallic taste

A girl quenches her thirst

Is her family wealthy?


Great source of minerals

A temporary creative solution

Federal regulations were met

But now is not the time to discuss


So open up your eyes

Tell me that you see it now

Show me that you know the truth

When faced with all these lies

Open up your eyes

The difference between right and wrong

No matter whether weak or strong

There is no other side
