The Distance Between Us

We were born

Out of two worlds colliding

Out of the clash

Of faith and endeavour

But when they came

They came to change and conquer

Our ancient ways

Were impaired and forgotten

The earth at our feet

Severed and torn

We failed to see

Where we belong

Shorten the distance between us

Erase the lines that were drawn long ago

Beware of those

Traitors that hide among us:

They'd sell our souls

If it fit their purpose

Haunted by this

Idea of perfection

We'll curse our skin

And deny where we came from

When will we

Open our arms?

Can we break free

And overcome?

Shorten the distance between us

Erase the lines that were drawn long ago

When our beliefs have been taken

Who will be there to catch us when we fall?

Shorten the distance between us

Erase the lines that were drawn long ago

When our beliefs have been taken

Who will be there to catch us when we fall?
