Look away. It took a life sentence to show me how to love today, it took a life sentence to show me how to look away. Close your eyes if you don’t like the color of my skin, close your eyes if you are not willing to look within. It used to bother me, what you used to say, I would [inaudible], it took a life sentence to show me how to forgive.
It took a life sentence to show me how to live, so close your eyes, close your ears if you don’t like my voice. Close your heart if you don’t like my love. It took a life sentence to show me how to give, it took a life sentence to show me how to love, so look away if you don’t like the color of my skin. Better yet, look within, where I’ll love you anyways.
