| When you hear a voice in marked opposition
|
| You and others like you demonize the speaker in derision
|
| You surround yourself with thinkers of your kind
|
| Never challenging your view or opening your mind
|
| You’re polarized and blinded
|
| There was a time when we might speak
|
| And seek the common ground
|
| That dialogue now lost to us
|
| The distance too profound
|
| When your vision is not what I want to see
|
| When the words you speak are challenging or threatening to me
|
| I can close myself away in this cocoon
|
| Reinforced by others not reflecting on our view
|
| We’re polarized and blinded
|
| There was a time when we might speak
|
| And seek the common ground
|
| That dialogue now lost to us
|
| The distance too profound
|
| We’re polarized
|
| We’ve deepened this divide
|
| We’re out of reach and blinded
|
| (x2) There was a time when we’d engage
|
| And seek the common ground
|
| That dialogue now lost to us
|
| The distance too profound |
