Close Your Eyes Lyrics

For everyone who suffers from some form of prejudice

Close your eyes, close your eyes

If you feel you're innocent of any kind of hate

Close your eyes, close your eyes

The end to all this conflict just isn't what you'd guessed

Can't you see we're losing all our best?

Deep religious hatred from our deep forgotten past

These bitter confrontations cannot last, they cannot last

For you who see our neighbor and accept them as they are

Close your eyes, close your eyes

If you have no problems with love and tolerance

Close your eyes, close your eyes

Nobody's ideology is better than the rest

Don't you think we've put that to the test

If we ever have a hope to open up our eyes

Don't you know the truth is hard to find?

It's hard to find

And how long can we take it if we can't face the truth?

How long can we hang on to these lies

I sense a separation, oh baby, oh tell me why Won't you tell me why

Tell me why we're different, tell me why it's a secret Tell me why you hide, tell me why you lie

Tell me why we're different, tell me why it's a secret

Tell me why you hide, tell me why you lie

I don't think that you can hide any longer in this life

I don't know why we have paid a price

Bitter confrontations over what we can't explain

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
