Lyrics

She'd been gone a month or two
We'd spoken several times since then
And then one day she said that she'd
Not speak to me again
She said that she'd be moving on
Her life with us was done
And I asked if there's something she learned
She could share before she'd gone
And she said, "We are one"
And though I'd heard that phrase a thousand times
It was like I never had
And she said, "We are one"
And I realized the truth of that
And I could not be sad
I saw him on the news one day
He was just a kid
And when they talked about the things he'd done
And others like him did
I could feel the hate come up inside
For the color of his skin
And then I turned around and saw myself
And heard the words again
I heard it, "We are one"
And I thought back to the kid in me
Just looking for himself
I heard it, "We are one"
And I realized I couldn't pass that hurt
Off on someone else
Maybe it's true, but I don't know whether
We're part of some big plan
But if we can't learn to live together
We could try to understand
They said we had to fight this war
To end the terror in their hearts
That there was something in what they believed
That rips our God apart
So we sent our young and poor to die
To try to ease our fear
But when we turn around and see ourselves
We see the terror we have here
And I thought, "We are one"
And though I'd thought that phrase a thousand times
It finally struck home
And I thought, "We are one"
In death, in skin, in our beliefs
We never are alone
In death, in skin, in our beliefs
We never are alone
