I can think of a wall separating brother from brother
and what's come before ostracizing like no other
and if I could think for one thousand years
could I help solve any of these problems
I dream of back when
life harnessed no heartache
and I awake to the now
I look at the children
budding in so much pain
I blink my eyes and look again
knowing their parents must have felt the same yeah
well could I lead them to happiness
or would they be better off in this decadence
I dream of back when
life harnessed no heartache
and I awake to the now
should I look away
ignoring the hungry living next door
or what could I say
to sail a ship to a yonder shore
a fight for compassion: giving helping
hands to the common man
and all for one reason
or just because we can
I dream of back when
life harnessed no heartache
and I awake to the now
