Lyrics
I will never see the world through your eyes
And you will never see the world through mine
Our stories led to vastly different lives
Misunderstanding is a tale as old as time
But if your neighbour’s house was burning down
Would you try to put it out?
Or would you stop and ask their political views?
Our instinct is to love, our humanity unites us
But we’re slaves to echo chambers and fake news
Echo chambers
And fake news
I will never walk this road in your shoes
And you will never walk your path in mine
The only thing in life we get to choose
Is whether to be cruel or to be kind
But if your neighbour’s house was burning down
Would you try to put it out?
Or would you stop and ask their political views?
Our instinct is to love, our humanity unites us
But we’re slaves to echo chambers and fake news
Echo chambers
And fake news
I’m so tired of these petty games
Pointing fingers, lay the blame
And ‘Shame on them, they’re all the same’
We feed on hatred, get a taste and then it takes over
Sucks all the humanity out of the enemy- ‘The Other Side’
But what if they lied?
What if we’re all fighting for the same side?
The right to have a good life, to a warm bed at night
We might never see eye to eye
But we all marvel at the same moon in the same sky
Breathe the same air
Laugh, cower and cry
And eventually, inevitably, we’re all gonna die
So why not choose to be kind with your limited time?
Why not choose to be kind with your limited time?
And if your neighbour’s house was burning down
Would you try to put it out?
Or would you stop and ask their political views?
Our instinct is to love, our humanity unites us
But we’re slaves to echo chambers and fake news
Echo chambers
And fake news
