Lyrics
Leaving Ourselves Behind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Until we can uncover the colors of all of our faces
Then we can encourage the light to hover upon us and love all our races
Weaken this damn fight, go up go over, tell me there's another choice,
than to grow older
(Chorus)
Well I wanna know, Is this a world that we wanna live in?
I wanna know, is there any way that we'll be forgiven?
I wanna know is this a world that we can be proud of?
I wanna know
We're always taught how to learn how to burn it away now,
No never not ever no more, it's a battle that no one can win and it's lasting,
Might call it a war. It's taken us inside a world that we've built up
a wall against barbed the wire up upon the fence we're leaving ourselves
behind
(Chorus)
