lyrics

We breathe together
But still divide in tribes.
We dig for shelter
In these trenches of our own design.

The tragedy of human history
Is that it’s the tale of our divide.
So don’t say you know me,
Don’t say you know all about my kind.
Don’t pigeon-hole me,
Don’t you judge me in the blind.

A new day of tension breaks,
Along the fragile peace line:
Tribe facing tribe
The wrongs of the past underlined.
“The blood is on your hands” they say
“If you don’t play the game our way –
There’ll be fire on the streets”.
How many young lives lost,
While the speechmakers sleep?

Sectarian hate with a cultural face,
It hides in plain sight.
Tribe blaming tribe,
Here where two wrongs make it right.
The hatred’s on the walls you know,
They spew it on the radio,
It marks out the streets.
And pre-selected history,
Feeds the allegiance it keeps.


And they all dress up
For the big parade:
All the colours of the great divide…

We breathe together
But still divide in tribes. *=/
We create the enemy
In these wars of our own design.
The weight of all this history,
Pushing down upon our waking lives.

We breathe together,
We share this space and time -
We must find shelter,
In the houses of the common ground.
Stand up – against the call of nation,
Non necem pro patria

So don’t say you know me,
You don’t know anything
About my kind.
No nation or church controls me,
And you won’t see me
Until your colour blind.

On the hard road of tragedy
Two strangers will meet -
Too late to realise,
We’re all the same underneath.
For now they’ve caught a cause
To serve: a drum to bang
A flag to burn: a vengeance to keep.
Polarised and paralyzed,
While the speechmakers sleep…
