I am one in 7 billion searching for my family Now you've come innocent love My ears can hear my eyes can see We are related we're arm in arm We are unarmed We are related we're arm in arm in arm And I'm overwhelmed by so much misery See people I know see people I love see people divided up so bitterly Watch out for the enemy enemy enemy enemy enemy preaching it like a liturgy And I pray for the day when you open the gates and say you finally have forgiven me My cell vibrates and I know it's not you I am now somebody who you will not talk to How could I expect you to forgive me After all our history I had to act atrocious Remember hugging big trees back in nacogdoches Couldn't let go Just couldn't let go This is how we live Holding onto memories Searching for my families Roots trees planted deep Grew up into enemies Now My cell vibrates cause I'm singing off key Locked in a box Like every day I wake up in the body of an animal I know it's not me But I'm accountable Nails to a cross Reach back touch the moment I was innocent Fold it to my chest Clutch and hold it til my sins are cleansed Benefit 7 billion souls with my penitence Open up the penitentiary gates now Send us in Flying on a phoenix path Been down and beaten back Born in the ash been the first to come in last Been the last One standing With a a match to light the candle On the downside of up say Radhaghast to let them in my castle Cast aside the old code words Greet the people at the gates We are blood others Found the secrets of love Beneath the sequence of our shame The weakness of these chains Is when we make them visible Reclaim our greatness When we break them Miracles Go higher than Di oxy ribo nucleic acid Our hearts and songs our greatest asset Scarred by the latest hazard Cynically suited up in a hazmat Spiritual Battle Temple grandin with the cattle Prod the people against Greed We need another seattle Chiefly Leading hands We can be peter pan And dancing with our shadows This whole world is turning all the time A revolution every day In the sun Innocent blood Is drying on the ground of it
