Can you hear me
From where you stand
Can you see me
For who I am
Can you feel me
From a distance
Can you ******* ...
.....Bitterness over resistance
Can you smell me
Burning when I'm not

How much distance is there
Between wrong and right
Or do they stand so close
As to block out any light
How many chances are there
To see what you don't
Before it's better to face it
The fact that you won't

Can you understand me
If we speak a different language
Or ever know those across the room
If we're unwilling to build a bridge
Can you ever really reach out
To those you cannot touch

Are we sure the effort
Would never amount to much
Then we'll fear the unknown forever
As each withdraws inward
With every endeavor

To find out
To remove doubt
To understand
And not demand
To meet halfway
As we relish the grey
As a starting place

To be as one
Two be as one
Two be as one to be
And to gather together

To be two as one....
To gather together
Ones to want to be
Together too

It starts with me and you
