1000 miles apart

i wonder when this poison seed made a root and grew a weed

i wonder when i taught my feet not to walk down certain streets

i want to feel what i believe: that we are all the same

it's not our houses

it's our hearts 1000 miles apart

you stay there

and i'll stay here

into our corners we disappear

and we don't ever have to talk

'cause you like hip-hop and i like rock

but sometimes thoughts hurt just as bad as striking cheeks with hands

it's less our homes and more our hearts 1000 miles apart

when will we have eyes to see?

when will we learn?

will we ever have eyes to see

that from our colours we learn?

a change of heart

a change of tune

can we forgive each other's wounds?

can we cut down this fence of weeds

and neighbors

close as brothers

be?

cannot love conquer even when we don't look the same?

'cause we don't have to keep our hearts 1000 miles apart
