And we call this freedom?
As we lock ourselves alone inside our houses, peer through blinds at empty streets.
A dysfunctional lifestyle, a society where we ignore the problems.
If we close our eyes there is nothing there to see.
It takes a brave man to die on his land for freedom,
It takes a braver man to share his land for peace.
We can't hear each other speak if we're both talking.
A compromise does not define loss or defeat.
But we all stand alone.
In our gated c**ture, where we hide behind the fences we've created,
we vilify other ways of life.
So let's drop our weapons, can we end the war on values that are different?
A solution's not too far out of reach.
