A couple are walking hand in hand
One is a fella, the other a man
They walk so close, it’s hard to tell them apart
Do your eyes have a prejudice heart?

A young woman kisses her brand-new bride
They wear their love like a badge of pride
Their life together they’re about to start
Do your eyes have a prejudice heart?

The calling from the mosque brings them to prayer
The women in a side room, cause only men go in there
Their faith deems it necessary to pray apart
Do your eyes have a prejudice heart?

They look quite normal when seen from the back
Yet one is white and the other is black
Both of them worldly and both of them smart
Do your eyes have a prejudice heart?
What do your eyes see?
