lyrics

Take me away
Take me to the place where we all think
To live
Celebrate
We're all the same but our difference is our link

Empty my lungs of this flood I'm drowning in

Of thoughtless many who live to hate
Kill in the name, don't teach to tolerate

And they're killing one another cause they don't believe
In one another's absurd beliefs--no

Set me free
Or help them see

That it's not too late to collaborate
To listen to the Earth as she demonstrates
That all we have to do is learn how to listen
Believe what we can and not what we Christen
Or sanctify, or deify, the one true God or otherwise--no
