Eight Billion Chances

We are cultural inbreds

ideals stuck hard in our heads

Not looking much further

Mirrors showing what should be

We close our eyes

Our parents’ values

The pressure of society

We are always taught that

Curiosity kills the cat

We close our minds

Have you ever considered?

Have you ever thought it that way?

Have you ever considered?

Have you ever thought it that way?

Take a step outside of the narrow mind

See the beauty of another kind

Ideals passed on can make you blind

Now tear down your shallow prejudices

Settle and stick together

Hold on to the plan they gave

Still eight billion chances

Is that a perfect match?

We close our hearts

Have you ever considered?

Have you ever thought it that way?

Have you ever considered?

Have you ever thought it that way?

Take a step outside of the narrow mind

See the beauty of another kind

Ideals passed on can make you blind

Now tear down your shallow prejudices
