Paper Cranes

Heartbeats join us all in unison
 Lines in the sand divide us all
 (Divide us all)
 Influencing a cultural divide
 That only fuels the fires
 We can never hold unity
 While people still take sides
 Creased together from broken parts and patched pieces
 But we continue to grow apart
 And let our world separate beyond reason
 (Separate beyond reason)
 Where did we go so wrong?
 When did it all fall apart?
 When did it all fall apart?
 Folded so carefully
 Like paper cranes
 Into the ways we think
 And opinions we hold
 Folded so carefully
 Like paper cranes
 But how are we to grow
 Without testing what we're told?
 We chose our fate
 The day we opened our mouths
 And began to speak with silvered tongues
 Standing on our own two feet
 Choosing for ourselves, what is right to believe
 What is wrong to adhere
 The endless cultural divides
 Created from fear
 Made only to destroy
 Our sense of fellowship
 Only strengthened through negativity
 Where did we go so wrong?
 When did it all fall apart?
 (Where did it all fall apart?)
 When did it all fall apart?
 Folded so carefully
 Like paper cranes
 Into the ways we think
 And opinions we hold
 Folded so carefully
 Like paper cranes
 But how are we to grow
 Without testing what we're told?
 Nothing but fear
 Creates the borders
 Dividing us as
 No more than human resources
 Builds boundaries
 And tears us apart
 Take us back to the start
 Take us back to the start
 Take us back to the start
 Folded so carefully
 Like paper cranes
 Into the ways we think
 And opinions we hold
 Folded so carefully
 Like paper cranes
 But how are we to grow
 Without testing what we're told?
 And realising that no one is right
 The venom on our lips
 Only fuels the fires
 We can never hold unity
 While people still take sides
 While people still take sides
