7 seconds Don't see me from afar, don't see my smile and think I don't know
What is underneath and behind me I don't want you to see me and think what is inside you Is in me, what is inside me is to help them Roughneck and rudeness, We should be using On the ones who practice wicked charms For the sword and the stone Bad to the bone Battle is not over Even when it's won And when a child is born Into this world It has no concept Of the tone the skin is living in It's not a second Seven seconds away Just as long as I stay I'll be waiting It's not a second Seven seconds away Just as long as I stay I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I assume the reasons that lead us to change everything, I wish we could forget their color so they can hope Lots of feelings for races which make them despair I want the two hands opened, Friends to talk about their sorrow, about their joy So they can be given information that does not divide To change Seven seconds away Just as long as I stay I'll be waiting It's not a second Seven seconds away Just as long as I stay I'll be waiting I'll be waiting I'll be waiting And when a child is born Into this world It has no concept Of the tone the skin it's living in And there's a million voices And there's a million voices To tell you what you should be thinking So you better sober up for just a second We're seven seconds away Just as long as I stay I'll be waiting It's not a second We're seven seconds away For just as long as I stay I'll be waiting It's not a second Seven seconds away Just as long as I stay I'll be waiting |
