Divided, Still Together

We speak in echoes through the wire;

Each word can light a different fire;

Same sky above but lines below;

We build our walls and call it home;

Still I hear your heartbeat near;

Buried under all this fear;

If we could only let it show;

Maybe we'd find a way to grow;

How can we stand together;

When the cracks run deep between?

How can we dream forever?

If we can't believe what we meet;

But if we reach through the distance;

And lay our pride down in the dust;

Maybe dividing won't dismind us;

Maybe together starts with trust;

Names and colors;

Flags and pain;

Falling like a heart cold rain;

We guard our truth;

With sharpened tongues;

And lose the song we should have sung;

Still I hear your heartbeat near;

Buried as the orbits fear;

If we could only let it show;

Maybe we′d find a way to grow;

How can we stand together;

When the cracks run deep between;

How can we dream forever;

If we can't believe what we need;

But if we reach through the distance;

And lay our pride down in the dust;

Maybe dividing won't define us;

Make me together, starts with trust;

Hold on to the human in the storm;

Even broken hands can keep us warm;

One small step, one honest lie;

To defend the space between your life and mine;

We don't have to agree on all the scars;

Just look up and see we've gone this far;

How can we stand together;

When the cracks run deep between;

How can we dream forever;

If we can't believe what being means;

But if we reach through the distance;

And lay our pride down in the dust;

May we live as it won't define us;

Maybe together starts with trust;

So let the silence turn song;

Maybe this is where we both belong;

Not perfect but enough;
