Same Blood

Same blood Born on divided soil Speaking in different tongues We all bleed the same Same blood  We all bleed the same Hope of progress is tainted By the echoes of history This plague keeps coming back We repeat our sins again and again Are we building a future? Or reliving the past? Embracing acceptance, Or drinking from the cup of bitterness? Pull the planks of judgment from your eyes You'll see the empty space inside Inside.. It's time that you turn on the light Oh, the confines of a mind When the box is kept closed tight Like a virus the ignorance multiplies Open the box and open up your eyes Same blood We bleed the same Then return to dust We all bleed the same  Same blood We all bleed the same  Hope of progress is tainted By the echoes of history This plague keeps coming back We repeat our sins again and again Can we heal the division? Bring a peace that will last  Level the scales of justice  Leave the hate in the past Oh, the confines of a mind When the box is kept closed tight Like a virus the ignorance multiplies Open the box and open up your eyes Now close the mouth that you've had open wide The streets run red from this ignorance The blood that has been spilled  is the same blood in your veins
