In Search of Empathy

I thought this was a new time

And we had buried hate in the ground

But hate was only sleeping

And now hate's come to town

And once again there is a target on our backs

As searchlights blanket the sky

Souls disappearing from the streets

As Love is left to die

Open your eyes

Open your heart

Walk hand in hand

Into the light from the dark

Feel the sores on my feet

As you take a walk in my shoes

Feel my hands clenched in anger

Tired of paying my dues

Spend a day in My skin

Take a listen with My ears

Look through my eyes

To see where I've been
