New Blood

Friend when I hear you speak It's like listening to the mirror We steel ourselves against the advancing seas And dissenting neighbors We are one But when has one ever been enough, old friends? New blood come and bring my blood to boil Let's melt the wall down and form a pearl Been stuck on the sound of my own voice You're my grain of sand, and buddy, I'm your oyster Have you read the Times today? We are this poor world's virus It's fever's fit to spike and buddy when it breaks Which of those old verses will you dust off to prove a just God Would still want to save us? We are one We are lost (we've prayed and we've prayed but we're no less afraid) (We've thought and we've thought but we're no better off) 'Cause one's never been enough, old friends Deep ruts, dead ends Good luck (amen) New blood come and bring my blood to boil Let's melt the wall down and form a pearl Been stuck on the sound of my own voice You're my grain of sand, and buddy, I am your- New blood come and bring my blood to boil Let's melt the wall down and form a pearl Been stuck on the sound of my own voice You're my grain of sand, and buddy, I'm your oyster
