about

Just what the title says...we have more similarities than differences.

lyrics

While it seems so clear to you and me
That what we need is unity
There is so much fighting in the street
It’s been going on for years, not weeks
How warm it could be and so serene
If we could finally find some peace
And bring all of our hearts together

Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean I’m right
If we don’t agree we don’t need to fight
You could like Dire Straits and Rapper’s Delight
It’s not enough just to be polite
In the darkness, shine a light
There’s a throne on top of a billion’s plight
What we need is to bring our hearts together

Jesus tried, he was slain
To reach our hearts, not just our brains
Now did you miss the point, because now you say
We should kill and divide all in his name
Preaching and doing are not the same
It’s no way to live with regret and shame
Can we just bring our hearts together?

It’s a noble concept, to be sure
You’re only as rich as the poorest poor
How much suffering can you endure?
Will you spread the cancer while you hide the cure?
Nostalgia is a tested lure
So for this, our next reunion tour
We’re gonna bring all of our hearts together

Find your voice and sing it loud
Build something of which you are proud
There’s no better time to start than now
Before all that’s left is a funeral shroud
The power of many has been avowed
The road once snowed in just got plowed
Now, let’s bring all of our hearts together
