Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a world (There's a world)
That's slowly growing down (Slowly growing down)
Human passion (Human passion)
Surely can't be found (Surely can't be found)
[Chorus]
Can you feel frozen emotions?
Can you handle those frigid lives?
If you see the sorrow in your children's eyes
You know the world's got to sensitize
You better sensitize yourself
To the needs of someone else
Better sensitize your eyes
To the human earth's rise
[Verse 2]
Brother spreads love around
Lady starts to mess around
She don't understand a brother's mind
'Cause she's too busy tyin' him down
If she saw the sorrow in the brother's eyes
She would know she has to sensitize
(Sensitize, sensitize, sensitize your mind)
[Chorus]
Brother spreads his love around
Lady starts to mess around
She don't understand the brother's mind
'Cause she's too busy tyin' him down
She better sensitize herself to the needs of someone else
Better sensitize yourself or you'll deal with someone else
[Verse 3]
Young have the strength of old
And the old have the strength of young
There's only generation gaps
If only they could see that
(Fightin', bitin', bitchin', mishandlin')
But we can't seem to find no inner understanding, hey
[Bridge]
(Sensitize) Sensitize (Sensitize, sensitize)
(Sensitize, sensitize, sensitize your mind)
(Sensitize, sensitize) All around the world
(Sensitize, sensitize) Organize your mind
(Sensitize, sensitize, sensitize your mind)
[Instrumental]
There's a world (There's a world)
That can grow up (That truly can grow up, yeah)
If everyone shared the pain (If everyone, you're tryna share the pain, mmm)
There'd be no one blame (There would be no one to blame)
Because shamed faces would be the same (Shamed faces would surely be the same)
So, just take light, a little light, in somebody's eyes
So the world can sensitize (Sensitize, sensitize)
[Outro]
(Sensitize, sensitize, sensitize your mind)
(Sensitize, sensitize, sensitize your mind)
You better (Sensitize, sensitize), you got to (Organizeyour mind)
Everybody (Organize your mind, sensitize, sensitize, sensitize your mind, yeah, yeah)
You better (Sensitize, sensitize), you got to (Harmonize your mind)
Oh, you have to (Organize your mind, sensitize, sensitize, yeah, yeah)
You better (Sensitize, sensitize), we got to (Harmonize your mind)
You oughta (Organize your mind, sensitize, sensitize, yeah, yeah)
(Sensitize, sensitize)
