Diversity like the blowing wind, each unique like the rain, can we mend these broken souls, learn to love again
Lives lived without care, walking in lines with blank stares, its time to change it all.
Armed with love, protected by truth, and colorblind to the lies. Let us stand as a society that reaches for mountain peaks, like birds upon the skies.
Love will see us through, love will light the way, this electricity that jolts throughout our being each and every day
We can see that some have stumbled, but know they will not fall, we've been united from the start
Try as it may, push and pull, but will never tear us apart
We're all looking for acceptance and someone we can hold, so let your inner light shine out on a world that can be so cold
Divided we're falling, United we could thrive, we all want to live, yet we only survive
So rise from the ashes, rise from the flame, unity and love are ours to reclaim
So let the rain fall show kindness to all, let the wind soar and blow down these walls, we've been standing this whole time roots firmly in the ground...
Let's reach out across the divide, embracing the light and keep love alive
Creating and crafting, we designed it away, we pushed off till tomorrow, what should have been yesterday. Now we feel it, the pain and despair, we thought our hero would come, it seems no one is there.
All we have is each other, the only time we have is now.
So lets reach out, forget doubt, get moving in unity, These lives are ours to lead.
I've waited this long I can wait here some more, I showed you my hatred, you showed me the door. Please don't give up, All I have left, thoughts of the past. Without your forgiveness I never will last.
We can't be in darkness if we live in the light, we cannot do wrong if we only do right, let us join together because divided we cannot survive. The way its been is not living, we only survived
Have patients my friends, compassion emends, and time will heal this too
We've seen the divisions and the divide, now, lets show them the Love we all have inside
Faith is the belief in something we cannot see, we can choose to rise above, have faith in humanity
I know our words are muted and that we all feel the same, it's time we put ourselves to the test ignoring all the pain
It's time to believe, take your battles to the knee, open up and to share, show others that we really care
With me by your side you won't slip, you won't fall
We've seen the divisions and the divide, now, lets show them the Love we all have inside
They've shown us darkness, let's show them light, take these wrongs and make them right
One more mile, I'll carry your pain, time to stand up, go against the grain
It's time to believe, take your battles to the knee, open up and to share, show others that we really care
It's time to listen to others put yourself to the side
Let's all take a moment, try just to listen, it's time
So whats a few mor miles? We've waited all this time, I'll be here until the end.
But I am here when you need me, We've traveled so so far, no looking back now
Are we there yet? Is this what we fought to receive? Are we open to hearing others? Do we any longer have the capacity to believe?
I know our words are muted and that we all feel the same, it's time we put ourselves to the test ignoring all the pain
We climb these mountains of hope, leaving behind seas of despair, knowing when we get to the top someone's gotta be there
Now you're gone and I can clearly see, I no longer stand for one, no longer just for me.
Will we ever see, will we ever be, more than we have been?
It's time to tell the truth, this has been steeping for a while, we've not a clue how to be adults, we're all children in denial.
Why do we have these empty hands, wasn't it enough to have these dreams and plans?
It's time to tell the truth, this has been steeping for a while, we've not a clue how to be adults, we're all children in denial.
Not sure how long till you hear me, seems it might (may) be a while
Will we ever see, will we ever be, more than we have been?
These shoes are worn from this endless search, mile after mile
Walk with me, talk with me, all we have (got) is time
The distain, the pain, they go so deep, we've been this way a while
Can anybody hear us, We're drowning in despair, We bellow out the words, it seems no one is there
The last two years have been such a mess
We all feel broken, we all feel pain, it's all about how we deal with it, that clears the path of distain
An infinite amount of memories circling in my head, I know that everything's ok, when my hand reaches for yours, and your next to me in bed.
One note before the other, One direction at a time, lets all be in unison, open your heart, your mouth, and mind
We all feel broken, we all feel pain, it's all about how we deal with it, that clears the path of distain
Faith is the belief in something we cannot see, we can choose to rise above, have faith in humanity
Lets unlock our potential, lets relearn from the start. Unity puts us together, division tears us apart
The last two years have been such a mess, we will succeed
A whisper in your ears you can whisper back in mine don't need to be today I'll wait for you it's fine
Faith is the belief in something we cannot see, we can choose to rise above, have faith in humanity
Do others ever listen, as we drown in our despair, will we continue on this way?
Can anybody hear me, I'm drowning in despair, I bellow out the words, it seems no one is there
As I look out on this world, I know the Creator has a plan, but my mind's not that expansive, no I'm just a feeble man
As I look out in this world, wonder what the future holds
I'm looking for some light, and an open ear
I'm uninspired, tired, it has all turned to grey
Are we blind, or can we see? I really do hot know
People are we listening, can we open up our hearts?
There's got to be more for me to live, there's gotta be more than this
I cut, I bleed, just take a look at both of my wtists
So pick me, prod me, I'm here on your display
Taught about how words hurt, but not how they subtract
Thoughts of being alone in a crowd, we are so callused
Along with connection, compassion, and empathy, we're at a very low point in history
Who wants to live in a world of darkness, un-compassionate like this
Along with connection, compassion, and empathy, just a few upon my list
Along with connection, compassion, and empathy
Loneliness can be a curse, but sometimes is a gift
Opinions of political views, I guess, are higher on your list
The last good thing I remember, your touch on my wrist
Time to put away our selfishness, and our grievance list
Why do my words need to be like enemies, or a razor to the wrist
So easy to be talking, while every other word gets dismissed
Every time I share my opinion, it's so easily dismissed
Lets unlock our potential, lets relearn from the start.
Unity puts us together, division tears us apart.
Coffee cup in hand, he grabbed his keys and said goodbye, reached his hand out to her cheek, said baby please don't cry
One foot before the other
One direction at a time
If we do this together
I know that we'll be fine
Paper planes, pop cycle sticks, life was much better before politics
Yesterday's gone, tomorrow's uncertain, Will we rise above?
Changes won't change, the changes we have made, can we show them love?
I've spent the last two years in darkness, there's not much left of me.
What little bit I have left, I give so passionately
Positively, positive this will turn out great
Disconnecting from the talking heads, their minds are filled with hate
As I stand here in a future that seems so bleak, I have to remember we all have power in the fact that we are unique
