For I sit in back

And watch the world go

Aiming all my efforts

Toward the forefront so

The Connections made

And the collisions had

Bring about some change

Detour the iron clad

Just long enough to

Level the playing field

So that those without

Have time to raise the shield

Giving them the space

They deserve to feel safe

Open up your heart

And open up the gate

For much too long now

We conquer and we say,

“This is mine not yours

Go find your own way”

And when it’s time to leave

Possessions we won’t claim

They don’t fit through this gate

So what’s our real aim?

Sometimes out of place

This world lacking grace

One thing is clear

watching the world go

watching the world go

Our time here is precious

And the struggles are real

Can we go within?

Have the strength to heal

All of us on earth

Not just those labeled

Must rise together

And come to this table

For much too long now

We conquer and we say,

“This is mine not yours

Go find your own way”

Sometimes out of place

This world lacking grace

One thing is clear

watching the world go

Sometimes out of place

This world lacking grace

One thing is clear

watching the world go

watching the world go
