Lyrics
I would say it was 1999, or maybe 1998 And as fate would have it Not a buck short or a moment too late A mother and her child sat side by side With the sun still on their side And a moment of silence was all it took For a voice to echo from the front of the bus To the insides of their ears and hearts "The seat right there, next to the... ni-" (shh) Do I have your attention? Or am I just stoking the fire? Pointing fingers and bridges burning While fingers point at burning bridges on which we all stand "Go back to where you camе from" "Haha, where? Right herе?" Tag, you're it (tick tock, tick tock) We're losing time, but I'll follow you if you follow me Do I have your attention? Imagine a camera panning over every face, every race Dreams, fears, hope, suffering, pain Are we not all the same? So, why are we so divided? We can be one, if you choose to see it from both sides And I've finally realised through these real eyes That these lines drawn in the sand only stand to divide us And what was always meant to be together Like my mother always said "Do I have your attention?" Oh, silent night, come as you are And let us not forget, that on this night Everyone sits at the same table, everyone! Everyone's at the same table Do I have your attention? Are we not all born with a gift called a voice To use, to speak up, to stand up? To stand up! Speak! Wake up! Do I have your attention? What side makes this right? Does your left hand hate the right? What face do I have to put on for you to ease up? Your daughter's? Your son's? Your husband's? Your wife's? Yours? Do I have your attention? Let's play a game, truth or dare I dare you to face the truth, for our sake Let the ground beneath your feet shake Let your weary hearts open up There's too much at stake here Do I have your attention? Could you learn to see me? What if I learned to see you? 'Cause I do see You have my attention It's not so black and white Or maybe it is
