Lose our grip and we fall
Trying to climb over this wall
Made of anger and guilt
A high barrier we built
Place your foot on my back
It may be the height you lack
If you make it outside, would you come back
Be my guide
Chorus:
Only love will guide us through this time
As long as there's one flame
We have a lifeline
Only love will guide us through this time
See him stumble in the dark
Trying to buy a little spark
And drive it into a vein
For a moment kill the pain
Where's my job, where's my car
Where's my lover, where's the bar
We all search for escape
Is it from our fear of faith
So much anger and hate
We have put on so much weight
And we drag it around
Start to nuture every pound
Pick a fight, pick a war
Pick a race, settle a score
Rodney King sing your song
Why can't we just get along
Trying to climb over this wall
Made of anger and guilt
A high barrier we built
Place your foot on my back
It may be the height you lack
If you make it outside, would you come back
Be my guide
Chorus:
Only love will guide us through this time
As long as there's one flame
We have a lifeline
Only love will guide us through this time
See him stumble in the dark
Trying to buy a little spark
And drive it into a vein
For a moment kill the pain
Where's my job, where's my car
Where's my lover, where's the bar
We all search for escape
Is it from our fear of faith
So much anger and hate
We have put on so much weight
And we drag it around
Start to nuture every pound
Pick a fight, pick a war
Pick a race, settle a score
Rodney King sing your song
Why can't we just get along
