I woke up this morning On the wrong side of the floor And I looked out my window And saw a day that looked exactly like the one before
And I did not know I did not know What all of the fighting was for And I did not know I did not know Would you tell me?
Verse I see the different races, I see the different faces of all the people I’ve seen before I stare at my shoes like everybody else refusing to say hello.
And I did not know I did not know What all of the silence was for And I did not know I did not know Would you tell me?
Chorus And I say don’t you think that heart will be fine And I say don’t you think that heart will be fine You …….. You……… I wont live that way
Verse I woke up the next morning on the other side of the floor And I decided I wasn’t going to deal with racism anymore
And I did not know I did not know What all of the anger was for And I did not know I did not know Would you tell me?
I see the different races, I see the different faces Of all the people I’ve seen before I stare at my shoes like everybody else Refusing to say hello.
And I did not know I did not know What all of the ignorance was for And I did not know I did not know Would you tell me?
Chorus
Bridge And I walked along these city streets so many times before and I wanted to tell you something, tell you something i didn't and I want to be free i said i said, why can't you hear me I said I said Why can’t you hear me?
And I say don’t you think that heart will be fine And I say don’t you think that heart will be fine You …….. U………n-i-t-y I wont live that way
