For the way we treat eachother There is no way To say how we do these crazy things Yet we’ll change our minds For nothing more than diamond rings and earthly kings. One day we love how we talk And sing and walk The next we try to look away And walk on to another day If we have a soul how does it know when to stop and to go But if we never burn or glow Then what are we then? We are simply nothing and no one wins. We are so afraid of how we feel That suddenly we can no longer be real. We’re turned into something, someone else until the tension softens and melts. So now we feel fine or Ok Or alright And then eventually we begin To fall Because we feel nothing at all. All just for the way we treat eachother Maybe we forget we are all sisters and brothers Yet brothers hurt sisters and sisters hurt brothers We are so worried about our own hearts beat We loose ourselves in our own tension and heat. We should look outside ourselves and let the feelings flow. Unless we want our souls to fade Let’s show each other a better way.

For The Way
For the way we treat eachother There is no way To say how we do these crazy things Yet we’ll change our minds For nothing more than diamond rings and earthly kings. One day we love how we talk And sing and walk The next we try to look away And walk on to another day If we have a soul how does it know when to stop and to go But if we never burn or glow Then what are we then? We are simply nothing and no one wins. We are so afraid of how we feel That suddenly we can no longer be real. We’re turned into something, someone else until the tension softens and melts. So now we feel fine or Ok Or alright And then eventually we begin To fall Because we feel nothing at all. All just for the way we treat eachother Maybe we forget we are all sisters and brothers Yet brothers hurt sisters and sisters hurt brothers We are so worried about our own hearts beat We loose ourselves in our own tension and heat. We should look outside ourselves and let the feelings flow. Unless we want our souls to fade Let’s show each other a better way.
