Lyrics

What have we become
When we can't say I'm wrong
There's nothing worse than pride inside a lie
The world is full of grays
Excuses for things to say
But, there's no use in fighting back the truth

Cause you might try to hide it
And you might lie to fight it
And you might side with someone more like you
And when all is said and done
You might think you've won
But, winning might cost everything that's real

We are all made different
Flawed and magnificent
Family trees, histories and chemistries
But ain't we all just flesh and blood
Only wanting to be love
Accepted and respected and believed

But you might try to hide it
And you might lie to fight it
And you might side with someone more like you
And when all is said and done
You might think you've won
But, winning might cost everything that's real
There is only right and wrong
And edges we all bend upon
But bending just won't stay where you need it
Cause the past has a way of sticking
Like a loaded time bomb ticking
And, we all lie to ourselves until we can't

We all try to hide it
And we all lie to fight it
And we all side with someone more like us
And when all is said and done
We all think we've won
And, winning makes us feel a little better

If right is right, there's no inbetween
And good is good and bad is mean
Can't we all admit all admit we're prisoners to the past
Cause the past is what we're made of
By parents we just want to love
Even if they're wrong and we all know it

Cause they just tried to hide it
And they all lied to fight it
And they all did the best that they could do
And when all was said and done
They all thought they'd won
But winning just taught lies to you and me

So now we know we're all the same
And we've go no one else to blame
And even if we disagree we're no better
So meet me on our better side
We'll step across that great divide
Cause we're all stronger when we're all together

And we won't think to hide it
And we won't lie about it
And we think differently but not stop talking
And when all is said and done
We all know we've won
And we'll all raise our kids to do the same
