Lyrics

Did you hear the news today?
We lost another one that way
To an agent of the modern day KKK
Did you see the video?
They're putting on quite a show
To make sure that the people know
Who's in charge
You know wrong, and you know right
You see the world in black and white
How could you know this living hell
Stuck inside your little shell?

What can I do?
What can I say to you to help you understand?
Why can't you see they're telling lies?
Open up your eyes
Ooooooooo

My friends are on the streets tonight,
Trying to shine a little light
And take a stand for what is right, right now
Do you think he was allowed
To drive his car into the crowd?
Do his choices make you proud somehow?
You know wrong and you know right,
You see the world in black and white
You think that you're justified,
When you defend the other side

What can I do?
What can I say to you to help you understand?
Gotta look again and rewind,
And open up your mind
Ooooooooo

Did you see them take a knee
While millions watched them on TV?
Pointing out hypocrisy at play
And yet you claim they disrespect
The vets and country they protect
I wish you'd get your privilege checked today

You know wrong and you know right
You see the world in black and white
But I have learned some things, my friend
We've got many fences yet to mend

What can I do?
What can I say to you to help you understand?
Gotta do my part to help you start
To open up your heart

Open up your heart,
Open up your heart, yea yea yea, yea yea yea yea
Open up your heart and let the love in (Open up your heart and let the love in)
Open up your heart and let the love in (Open up your heart and let the love in)
Open up your eyes and see the light (Open up your heart and let the love in)
Open up your mind and know the truth (Open up your heart and let the love in)
(Open up your heart and let the love in…)
Open up your heart and let the love in
