Holding the Space

Speak of love in a warm embrace
 Speak of hope in a smiling face
 Speak of peace in the stars up there
 Speak of faith in a silent prayer
 But when I'm speaking to you
 And you're speaking to me
 Things get complicated
 When you're speaking to me
 And I'm speaking to you, voices are isolated
 Words just push the air around
 Gotta find some common ground
 In the space between us
 Speak of fear that has no name
 Speak of hate that seeks to blame
 Speak of pain behind each wall
 Speak of death that touches us all
 But when I'm speaking to you
 And you're speaking to me
 There's so much frustration
 When you're speaking to me
 And I'm speaking to you, no communication
 Words of fear and words of rage
 Break the bars of this cage
 In the space between us
 But when I'm speaking to you
 And you're speaking to me
 Things get complicated
 When you're speaking to me
 And I'm speaking to you, voices are isolated
 Words just push the air around
 Gotta find some common ground
 In the space between us
