Never see the beauty of a man's heart never see 

Never see the truth in the lies between them never see 

All they see is colour of a man's skin 

Thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings 



Never see the promise of the future never see 

Never see they foster their confusion never see 

So many twisted meanings their words can't explain 

And thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings 



And you'll never see, never see another man's sorrow 

Did you ever read, ever read another man's story? 

Plus ca change will guarantee the same tomorrow 

If progress is forgiving 

No progress has been made 



Never see the man with his family never see 

Never see the pride they can't deny him never see 

All they see is colour of a man's skin 

Thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings, the wings 



Never see, never see, never see oh! oh! 

Never see, never see, never see oh! will! 



Thoughts can be prisons and thoughts can be wings
