both sides (feat. KA米拉H Marshall)

I would say it was 1999 or maybe 1998
and as fate would have it
not a buck short or a moment too late
A mother and her child sat side by side with the sun still on their side
And a moment of silence was all it took for a voice to echo from the front the bus to the insides of thier ears and hearts
the seat right there
next to the ……ni……shh……
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Or am I just stoking the fire
pointing finggers and bridges burning
while fingers point at burning bridges
on which we all stand
GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM
where
right here
tag youre it
TIK TOK
Were losing time but, Ill follow you if you follow me
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Imagine a camera panning over every face,
every race
Dreams, feras, hope, suffering, pain
ARE WE NOT ALL THE SAME
so why are we so divided
we can be one
If you choose to see it from both sides
and I finally realized
thtough these real eyes that theselines drawn in the sand only stand to divide us
and whatwas always meant to be together
Like my mother always said
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Oh silent night
come as you are
and let us not forget on this night
EVERYONE sits at the same table
EVERYONE
EVERYONEs at the same table
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Are we not all born with a gift
called a voice
to use, to speak up, to stand up
TO STAND UP! SPEAKE
wake up!
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
What side makes this right
does your left hand hate the right
What face do I have to put on for you to ease up
Your daughters, your sons, your husbands, your wifes
yours
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Lets play a game
truth or dare
I dare you to face the truth
for our sake
let the ground beneath your feet shake let your weary hearts open up
theres to much at stake here
DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?
Could you learn to see me
what if I learn to see you
cause I do see
You have my attention
Its not so black and white
Or maybe it is
