Verse:

I'm lost in reverie

You and I are seventeen

Everything is still, not a shake nor tremble

And then slowly our loathing will interfere

And our hatred begets a ubiquitous fear

Pre - Chorus:

And now

When it feels like there's no control

Are we forgetting that this place is our home?

This blue-green spinning rock

Orientation, nor race, not religion, or name can earn

Our hate

Chorus:

We don't need height but width to unite

No arms raised but arms strung along

Nothing to fear except for fear itself

We all feel love and pain

We all bleed the same, don't we? (don't we)

Verse 2:

The need for change is not the whim of an hour we can only break inertia with relinquished power

If the yen of unity resides high and dry

On the spotless mezzanine in the mortal mind and once

Every drop of life has been wrung out of our pores

Mark my words, this vast green earth will groan to turn

Will we still insist on using our fists?

We don't need our fists to learn

Bridge:

And when we are dead and truly alone

Are we remembered by our faith or skin tone

Who we fuck, who we don't

Or by our love of this life

The child still inside survives, our hate

Chorus:

We don't need height but width to unite

No arms raised but arms strung along

Nothing to fear except for fear itself

We all feel love and pain

We all bleed the same, don't we? (don't we)

We don't need height but width to unite

No arms raised but arms strung along

Nothing to fear except for fear itself

We all feel love and pain

We all bleed the same, don't we? (don't we)

Don't we?
