|
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 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 |
|
But 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 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 |
|
Yes, America's children |
|
Are askin' everybody some questions about how it is |
|
Yes, America's children |
|
Are makin' it hard to look them in the eyes |
|
America's children |
|
Are makin' it hard to live lies, you know, whoa, it is |
|
And America's children |
|
Are diggin' that everywhere children |
|
Are diggin' we live on the earth |
|
We live on the earth, we live on the earth right now |
|
Yes, and it's right on, children of the earth, and it's right on |
|
Children of the earth, and it's right on |
|
Children of the earth and it's right on, right on, yeah |
|
This is what has made our nation free |
|
For life is change |
|
And only blind men cannot see |
|
The new order is upon us now |
|
It is the children |
|
They have the wisdom to be free |
|
All are strangers, all are friends |
|
All are brothers |
