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
