We Could Be Gone Songtext

You and me are from different tribes Never learned to talk, so we learned to fight Communication like water spilled What we can't take in was lost or killed We learned to live where we bore each child Every step we took lost another mile Came the day we were face to face Didn't understand so our instincts raced If we don't get together at all, we lose it Get to the table and talk, we'll choose it Forget what's been said before, confusing Out of the heart of it all our future's born If we don't look inside our souls, we could be gone Forty thousand years underneath your belt Now you have to pray where the white man knelt You've been ridiculed because of what you felt Tried to crucify you, but you fought like hell The dreams that lead your every move Full of stories you could never prove If god is part of the written word There are stories that your god ain't heard If we don't get together at all, we lose it Get to the table and talk, we'll choose it Forget what's been said before, confusing Out of the heart of it all our future's born If we don't look inside our souls, we could be gone
