Keep your distance, don't cross that line You stay on your side, and I'll stay on mine Fear and ignorance intertwine Twisting and wrenching infecting my mind I'm begging I'm pleading Can't help but feeling If love was a person, that person's not breathing We bleed the same blood We break the same bones We fan the same flame We cast the same stones We magnify subtleties up in our heads Till compassion and empathy wind up dead Piercing glances through darkened eyes Your true intentions outshine your disguise Finding new reasons to justify Painting the age old dividing lines Sacrificing compromising Sucking me dry I'm begging I'm pleading Can't help but feeling If love was a person, that person's not breathing We bleed the same blood We break the same bones We fan the same flame We cast the same stones We magnify subtleties up in our heads Till compassion and empathy wind up dead It simply means that every nation Must be concerned about every other Nation Every individual must be concerned about every other individual Through our scientific genius, we made of the world a neighborhood We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish Together as fools I'm begging I'm pleading Can't help but feeling If love was a person, that person's not breathing We bleed the same blood We break the same bones We fan the same flame We cast the same stones We magnify subtleties up in our heads Till compassion and empathy wind up dead I'm begging I'm pleading I'm asking I'm needing I'm ripping I'm clawing I'm desperately seeking A vision, a sign A weapon, sublime To vanquish the hatred and leave it behind We bleed the same blood We break the same bones We fan the same flame We cast the same stones And all we'll have left at the end of the day Is a mountain of nothing A vacuum, decay
