7 Seconds - Love Like Blood

Don’t see me from a distance

Don’t look at my smile

And think that I don’t know

What’s under and behind

I don’t want you to look at me and think

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’s not over even when it’s won

And when a child is born

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin is living in

It’s not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I’ll be waiting

It’s not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I’ll be waiting

I would like us to forget about their color

So they can be optimistic

Too many views on rave that make them desperate

It’s not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I’ll be waiting

It’s not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I’ll be waiting

And when a child is born

It has no concept

Of the tone the skin is living in million voices

There’s a million voices

It’s not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I’ll be waiting

It’s not a second

7 seconds away

Just as long as I stay

I’ll be waiting
