We look at the world through stereotyped lenses,
you see me as a terrorist, just because I'm Iranian,
you see me as an illegal alien, just because I'm Mexican,
because that's all you see through your blurred vision.

I could tell you things about me, all of them true,
but you wouldn't believe me, would you?
You'd go on thinking what you thought,
those rude thoughts 'bout me.

I can't help you see.
I can't give you new glasses.
I can only give you a handkerchief,
and give you the power,
to wipe off your lenses,
and see me,
in a new light.
