Black And White Lyrics - Singles - String Cheese Incident

Spend our lifetime reading 

Books that we've been told to 

Are we catching the meaning? 

Are we really supposed to? 

It's time that we start seeing 

The shades of color between the lines 

Find a true way of being 

Don't you think we're wasting time 

Have you heard of Douglas town? 

And the Irish of another skin 

A million people have died there 

How come we never heard a thing? 

You envision a world without chains 

Listen do you hear the call? 

Dr. King and those who rise and fall 

Fought so hard to bring peace to all 

[Chorus: ] 

Can't you see 

That not everything is black and white? 

Can't you see, 

That we need each other's strength and might? 

In this world of illusion 

It's so easy to be blinded 

Out of created confusion 

Separation in minded 

See if we can believe in 

The truth that all our children know 

It's about time we start thinking 

It's not all about what we're told 

Can't you see 

That not everything is black and white? 

Can't you feel 

That we need each other's strength and might? 

When we believe 

That there's no need for these walls to grow 

We'll all see 

That it takes all colors to make this rainbow 

Higher, higher, higher....(and so on)
