about

We're all afraid of each other to a certain extent. No two people will ever agree on everything. But we cannot stand alone.

lyrics

Wish I could talk to you in language you could hear
Maybe the enmity would start to disappear
Throw off these arguments and layers of defense
With no agenda, and no pretense

Wish I could find a bridge that brings you to my side
When I'm afraid to cross and swallow my own pride
I promise you the grass is greener over here
But when I reach across I only feel your fear

The river rages in the chasm
Between the banks of our belief
Until the canyon's overflowing
And we can only find relief
On the bridge

It's time for us to throw these swords and shields down
And send a rope across, tied to higher ground
The chaos down below will drown us both in time
Until we both secure a life-line

We cannot stand alone
We cannot stand alone
We cannot stand alone
We cannot stand alone

The river rages in the chasm
As we look down in disbelief
To think we ever were divided
When we could always find relief
On the bridge
On the bridge

We cannot stand alone
We cannot stand alone
We cannot stand alone
We cannot stand alone
