Love is colour blind

Recently, I have fallen in love with an English song. It's love at first sight. It is no doubt that this song is meaningful, and I find it very soulful and nerve-soothing. "Love Is Colour Blind", a song that can really give you the peace of mind and help you relax.













Note: The first video is the original music video for the song, but it is not complete, meaning the video ends in the middle of the music. The second video is not the music video, but it is complete.





Singers:
Sarah Connor, TQ

Lyrics:
[TQ]
yeah!
what's up?
it's TQ and Sarah again
haha, right back at ya
(love is color blind)
that's right
this time we got a serious situation
and we're tryna do our parts to help
and we need your help
you know what I'm saying?
(love is color blind)
so come on!

[Sarah]
it don't matter if you're black (yeah)
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red (it don't matter)
let's get down to that
love is color blind (that's right, give it to em baby)

I remember when
I was a child and couldn't understand
people having fun
discriminating all the different ones
mama just used to say
when you grow up you maybe find a way
to make these people see
that everything I do comes back to me

you gotta live your life
through all the single ones to blame
you gotta live that life
just play the game and let love reign

it don't matter if you're black
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red
let's get down to that
love is color blind
you're my brother, you're my friend
all that matters in the very end (yeah)
it's to understand (yeah)
{come on TQ}
love is color blind (that's right)

[TQ]
I remember as a young boy
I watch my neighborhood go up in flames
I saw the whole thing of tears and pain
and the situation's wack in my brain
I wish I could fly away and never come back again
we need some love ya'll
we need some real dip, help from above ya'll
I mean the kids is watching
and I just can't see ya stop
I don't understand
I mean we all bleed the same blood, man
(you gotta live your life)
better than a father's dead
let's make some love baby
have some kids
(you gotta live that life)
and I don't care what color they are
or you are or we are, it's all love baby!

[Sarah + TQ adlibs]
it don't matter if you're black
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red
let's get down to that
love is color blind
you're my brother, you're my friend
all that matters in the very end
it's to understand
love is color blind

you could have been my mother
you could have been my brother
what if you are my sister
if you are my father
you could have been my feller
you could have been my teacher
but if you are my friend
it would be so nice to meet ya
you could have been my mother
you could have been my brother
what if you are my sister
if you are my father
I could have been your feller
you could have been my teacher
but if you are my friend
it would be so nice to meet ya

[Sarah]
take it out to the world
tell every boy and every little girl
be proud of yourself
cause you're as good as anybody else
put away your prejudice
open your mind don't need to stick to this
try to make this of
a better place without a racial curse(?)

[TQ]
yeah time for some changes ya'll
(na na na na...)
so come on!
put your hands up!
come on!
put your hands up!
come on!
put your hands up!
it don't matter ya'll
we stayin color blind
it don't matter ya'll
we stayin color blind
it don't matter ya'll

[Sarah + TQ adlibs]
it don't matter if you're black
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red

all that matters in the very end

color blind, yeah




Instead of saying love is blind, why not we insert one more word in that saying? Make it "love is colour blind". Love knows no boundaries. In this world of vast difference and diversity, it's perhaps a wise option to open up our heart and rid ourselves of stereotype, pride and prejudice. It is only by this way that we could possibly make this world a better place to live in. The species of good, generous and kind souls (me included in it....hahaha) is considered endangered species. But we could do something to preserve and increase its population. Let love triumph over pride and prejudice. Let love conquer and spread to everyone's heart.
