Verse 1:
Finally I can see you
We're not so far apart
Like looking through the window where you're playing in the yard
I have more toys than you my friend
We're both good boys at heart
We play in different places but we bow to the same God.
Verse 2:
Finally I can reach you
The door's not open wide
My steps to you are slow now cause I walk in the wake of pride
But they'll be a golden morning beyond a stormy night
Comes a time our freedom (*) and peace we reunite
Chorus:
My country is a ghetto and (*)
Everytime our (*) get close
Our hearts turn black and white
Now I see with opened eyes
Every trial is a blessing in disguise
I will stand empty if I push you aside
Verse 3:
By this (*)
Our burdens know no time
A (*) ends in justice
And what's yours will be mine
I found that trouble tempts us to trade in all our guns
We learn to say the same things while we talk in different tongues
Chorus: (× 2)
My country is a ghetto and (*)
Everytime our (*) get close
Our hearts turn black and white
Now I see with opened eyes
Every trial is a blessing in disguise
I will stand empty if I push you aside
[ Instrumental ]
Chorus:
My country is a ghetto and (*)
Everytime our hands get close , our hearts turn black and white (black and white)
Now I see with opened eyes
Every trial is a blessing in disguise
I'll stay empty if I push you aside
[Repeat Chorus]
Outro:
My country is a ghetto
