| We are not helpless we are men
|
| What lies between us
|
| It can be set aside and ended
|
| Everyday we learn more how to hate
|
| Shut the door
|
| And then we’ll tell ourselves we can’t relate
|
| Only to the ones who are the same
|
| Yet even they are different
|
| And ever so they shall remain
|
| All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers
|
| Open up my friend and learn to hear
|
| For even lying
|
| When it has nothing you should fear
|
| If you cannot let yourself be
|
| Known by anyone
|
| Then you are hiding and not whole
|
| All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers
|
| We your children we would ask you all
|
| Please do not hide your eyes
|
| And listen when we will call
|
| We will whisper shout or make a scene
|
| We are the answer
|
| For we can live the peace we dream
|
| All are strangers, all are friends, all are brothers
|
| Oh yeah, oh yeah
