Things we could have given
Words we could have said
And roads we could have taken
But now our lives hang by a thread cause we're fighting instead
We had it all but we
Wanted more constantly
Oh, how are we ever free?
If we're asked to fire at will yet we can't disagree
It's not a guarantee
Never black or white
Oh but we could try to make it right
Cause brother won't you let me
Ease your mind
We gotta find a way to leave this all behind
I want you home safe and sound
There's a train we could catch city bound
For once we were lost
And now that we are found
Oh brother won't you turn this thing around?
Oh brother help us turn this thing around
Why keep your distance
Who's in command
There will always be resistance
Cause we keep hurting the things that we don't understand
Take me to sunday
We'll sing and pray and dance
Oh what do I have to pay?
Won't you just let me love you while we still have the chance?
It's not a guarantee
Never black or white
Oh but we could try to make it right
Cause brother won't you let me
Ease your mind
We gotta find a way to leave this all behind
I want you home safe and sound
There's a train we could catch city bound
For once we were lost
And now that we are found
Oh brother won't you turn this thing around?
Oh brother help us turn this thing around
