Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How can we talk about our differences

When we don't talk, don't talk at all?

It seems so critical to speak less critically

I see no truth as mythical, no vast unbridgeable

[PreChorus]

Gimme strength to overcome

Gimme strength, I'm not gonna run

Build it up, build it up

[Chorus]

You gotta, you gotta give some, take some

Fix it up, you gotta break some

You gotta open up, you gotta share

Build it up if nothing's there

[Verse 2]

How can we talk about our differences

When we don't talk, don't talk at all?

Listen to the echo of the anger of our silences or

To the sound of each other's heart

[PreChorus]

Gimme strength to overcome

Gimme strength, I'm not gonna run

Build it up, build it up

[Chorus]

You gotta, you gotta give some, take some

Give some, take some

Fix it up, you gotta break some

You gotta open up, you gotta share

Build it up if nothing's there

You gotta give some, shake some

Give some, shake some

Pull it all down but hate none

You gotta open up, you gotta care

Build it up if nothing's there

[Bridge]

I can build it up and

If you want to build it up and

We can build it up if

You, you want to build it up with me

Come on and build it up

Come on and build it up with me

[Chorus]

You gotta give some, take some

Give some, take some

Fix it up and then break some

Gotta open up, you gotta share

Build it up if nothing's there

[Chorus]

Come on, bring some, shake some

Bring some, shake some

Pull it all down but hate none

You gotta open up, you gotta care

Build it up if nothing's there

[Chorus]

You gotta give some, take some

Give some, take some

Fix it up, you gotta break some

You gotta open up, you gotta share

Build it up if nothing's there

[Chorus]

Come on, bring some

Bring some, shake some

Pull it all down but hate none

You gotta open up, you gotta care

Build it up if nothing's there
