How can something so clear, get lost in plain sight

I look back at their fear
I look back at their lies
God damn I come so near
To believing them right

I look back at their tears
I look back in their eyes
How can something so clear
Get lost in plain sight

The only difference
Between me and you
Is the colour of people
Who told us we're fools
Don't fall in love with that girl
Don't fall in love with that man
You're from two different worlds
I just don't understand

Well I'm much older now
So when I look back
I fell in love with that girl
She fell in love with that man
Now we live in a different world
You just won't understand

She's the light that guides
And all those tired clichés
She's the one I waited my whole life
To hear say my name

She's the port in the storm
And all those tired stories
She's the one I waited my whole life
To hear talk in her sleep

She's the one I carry
She's the one I need
She's the one I marry
She's the one I believe

We're the ones who proved
Everyone wrong
We're the ones who choose
To truly love someone
Whose people have always
sung a different song.
Whose people always marched
To a different drum.

She's the one I love
She's the one I see
She's the one I trust
She's the one for me.
