Witness Letra

As the chains of oppression were left to rust
Another man took a seat at the back of the bus
Blind Eye
Blind Witness
They say Justice is blind but the hand is numb
No compassion for the people held under it’s thumb
Witness
Progress made can’t be denied yet so many lives remain cast aside
Free from guilt? I didn’t light the match...
Turn away from the flame as it burns my back
My mouth is dry, but if the levee burst
Would I douse the flames or quench my thirst?
When we close our eyes we close our fists
Our blindness ensures that oppression exists
Blind Eye
