[Intro: Jimmy Carter]

In a nation that was proud of hard work, strong families, close-knit communities, and our faith in God, too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption. Human identity is no longer defined by what one does, but by what one owns. But we've discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning. We've learned that piling up material goods cannot fill the emptiness of lives which have no confidence or purpose. There is a growing disrespect... for schools, the news media, and other institutions. This is not a message of happiness or reassurance, but it is the truth and it is a warning

[Refrain: Court Walters & Mitch Burgess]

We all live the same lives through different eyes

All our stories have been told

[Verse 1: Court Walters]

We’re one and the sum of our parts is fading away

As we arise to the calling of the ether of time

And all the stars set in our eyes

Like I wove a path that we can never wash our hands of

The memory of a stolen answer

Find a way to pull me out again, fuck

I know it's not too late, I know it's not too late

Give me a taste of a future that's made for us

We know it's not too late to start it all again

[Chorus: Mitch Burgess]

Don't hang suspended

Fearing the light of the flame

We know it creeps toward us

But watching it won't change a thing

[Verse 2: Mitch Burgess & Court Walters]

We all live the same

Fire is catching and we'll all burn the same

We all live the same lives

Fire is catching and we'll all burn the same

Through different eyes

Fire is catching and we'll all burn the same

We all live that way

Fire is catching and we'll all go up in flames

[Outro: Court Walters]

You're the morning that's shining

Starting to fill me up with light
