lyrics

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother

I see my brother

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

Hey man I guess I just
needed to understand
myself much better
Fight the right
get that vision much clearer
and the things I can't stand
they keep landing me
in predicaments
that would make me be a hypocrite
If I was to stand in jugdement
I know our melanins might vary
the variance of great radiance
that this planet of ours carry
and its such a wonderful picture
a colorful concoction
that them tell em' I woulda missed it
it ain't a prison
its a prism
and imma stand with ya'
when they trippin' in your town
and I know all lives matter
but I'm focused on yours now
they hirin' these pitchforks
boy I start a sign
cuz' whats going through your veins
is the same as mine

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

Forgiveness is the garment
Of our courage
The power to make the peace
We long to know
Open up our eyes
To see the wounds that bind
All of humankind
May our shutter hearts
Greet the dawn of life
With charity and love

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother

When I look into the face
Of my enemy
I see my brother
I see my brother
