Take a few steps with me
No words
Just hand in hand
Let us walk together for once
It's time to take blame for the raindrops
On your eyelashes
That you can see reflected in my eyes
Was it your hand or mine?
I'll give you reason to breathe
Within you I'll find reason to live
It's time to stop painting one another red
What if your child was mine?
*Come to my house and we'll go on a picnic
To the most beautiful park
So relaxing and peaceful under a bright blue sky
I promise you will want to come back*
I will show you the cornfields
Alongside the roses
My people work so hard
They are most welcoming
*I dreamt of you last night
We were together
You never stopped holding my hand
And we just walked side by side as far as we could go
We walked through your home
It rained but we held on
Seeking shelter at mine
No one stopped you
We just walked straight through
No borders
No visas
My land had your flag
And yours had mine*
