Blue Eyes Brown Eyes

about

Another 2020 inspired song.

The first one I've written since Mom passed. She would have been one to talk to me and help me make sense of this world. I have had some life changing conversations with my white friends, and I go to bed at night, when I sleep well, with some hope for the future. I hope we can get this right!

lyrics

blue eyes
and brown eyes
they don't see the world in the same light

do thin lips start their morning
with bitter coffee
and judge me for the sugar
my full lips
would rather taste?

Can you see me in full color?
do you wish for simpler days?
i can't go back
the past was harder
can you do more than look away?

blue eyes
and brown eyes

too often
i see stories
morning news
burn the page
bury my control in the cushions
turning it off
is as simple as the
pushing of a button
I find excuses
not to change

can you see me
in full color?
can you do more than look away?

blue eyes
and brown eyes
I didn't believe in fantasy
you brought me Magic
you brought me Grace

and blue eyes and brown eyes
watch us
will they watch us break?

blue eyes
and brown eyes
