Why, on why
do we fight amongst ourselves?
with words and with ideas and with so many untruths
Here, inside
I look out at the world, and I don't understand
We all want the same things
and we all come from the same place
we all long for unity
and I have faith...
Chorus:
Different paths, different minds
Different souls, and different times
Different stories, different words
But one Truth
One God
One...
We are all One
Why, oh why
do we play these games of "victim" and of "not enough"?
Deep inside
all we want is to be loved
but we cry out that we're lonely and forget that love surrounds
We all fear the same things
and we all get hurt the same way
we all long for closeness
but I have faith...
(Chorus)
Tell me how
Does an angel fall and lose his wings and get so lost?
Maybe I
just don't understand this world
and all this sensitivity is better kept inside
But then tell me how
does a brother lost a sister and forget what he once knew?
And tell me how
do these souls who share the same truths get so lost in games of words?
We all glimpse the same God
and somewhere inside me must know
that words are not what matters,
only love...
altered chorus:
(Different stories)
Brothers and Sisters, hold hands
(Different minds)
Speak from the depths where you hide
(Different paths)
Speak out your secrets and heal
We are all One
...
You never really lose your wings
they're just clipped behind you
and you never really lose your hope
it just hides inside you
and you never really lose your friends...
... we're right here beside you
