For everyone who suffers from some form of prejudice
Close your eyes, close your eyes
If you feel you're innocent of any kind of hate
Close your eyes, close your eyes
The end to all this conflict just isn't what you'd guessed
Can't you see we're losing all our best?

Deep religious hatred from our deep forgotten past
These bitter confrontations cannot last, they cannot last

For you who see our neighbor and accept them as they are
Close your eyes, close your eyes
If you have no problems with love and tolerance
Close your eyes, close your eyes

Nobody's ideology is better than the rest
Don't you think we've put that to the test
If we ever have a hope to open up our eyes
Don't you know the truth is hard to find?
It's hard to find

And how long can we take it if we can't face the truth?
How long can we hang on to these lies
I sense a separation, oh baby, oh tell me why Won't you tell me why
Tell me why we're different, tell me why it's a secret Tell me why you hide, tell me why you lie

Tell me why we're different, tell me why it's a secret
Tell me why you hide, tell me why you lie
I don't think that you can hide any longer in this life
I don't know why we have paid a price
Bitter confrontations over what we can't explain

Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes
