[Intro]

I am one in seven billion searching for my family

Now you've come, innocent love

My ears can hear, my eyes can see

[Chorus]

We are related

We're arm in arm, we are unarmed

We are related

We're arm in arm in arm

[Post-Chorus: Jonny 5]

And I'm overwhelmed by so much misery

See people I know, see people I love, see people divided up so bitterly

Watch out for the enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy preaching it like a liturgy

And I pray for the day when you open the gates and say you finally have forgiven me

Forgiven me

[Verse 1: Jonny 5]

My cell vibrates and I know it's not you

I am now somebody who you will not talk to

How could I expect you to forgive me?

After all our history, I had to act atrocious

Remember hugging big trees back in Nacogdoches?

Couldn't let go

Just couldn't let go

This is how we live

Holding onto memories

Searching for my families

Roots trees planted deep

Grew up into enemies

Now

My cell vibrates 'cause I'm singing off-key

Locked in a box

Like every day I wake up in the body of an animal

I know it's not me

But I’m accountable

Nails to a cross

Reach back, touch the moment I was innocent

Fold it to my chest

Clutch and hold it till my sins are cleansed

Benefit seven billion souls with my penitence

Open up the penitentiary gates now

Send us in

[Chorus]

We are related

We're arm in arm, we are unarmed

We are related

We're arm in arm in arm

[Post-Chorus: Jonny 5]

And I'm overwhelmed by so much misery

See people I know, see people I love, see people divided up so bitterly

So bitterly

[Verse 2: Brer Rabbit]

I'm flying on a phoenix path

Been down and beaten back

Born in the ash, been the first to come in last

Been the last one standing

With a match to light the candle

On the downside of up say

Radhaghast to let them in my castle

Cast aside the old code words

Greet the people at the gates

We are blood others

Found the secrets of love

Beneath the sequence of our shame

The weakness of these chains

Is when we make them visible

Reclaim our greatness

When we break them, miracles

Go higher than

Deoxyribonucleic acid

Our hearts and songs, our greatest asset

Scarred by the latest hazard

Cynically suited up in a hazmat

Spiritual

Battle

Temple grandin with the cattle

Prod the people against greed

We need another Seattle

Chiefly

Leading hands

We can be Peter Pan

And dancing with our shadows

Dancing with our shadows

[Chorus]

We are related

We're arm in arm, we are unarmed

We are related

We're arm in arm in arm

[Bridge]

This whole world is turning all the time

A revolution every day

In the sun, innocent blood

Is drying on the ground of it

[Chorus]

We are related

We're arm in arm, we are unarmed

We are related

We're arm in arm in arm

We are related (Soothe my soul and open my eyes)

(Fill me with the fire inside)

We're arm in arm, we are unarmed (Lift my spark up to the divine)

(Elevate me higher and rise)

We are related

We're arm in arm in arm

[Outro]

Soothe my soul and open my eyes (Sooothe my soul)

Fill me with the fire inside

Lift my spark up to the divine

Elevate me higher and rise (Higher and rise)

Soothe my soul and open my eyes (Soothe my soul)

Fill me with the fire inside

Lift my spark up to the divine

Elevate me higher and rise (Higher and rise)
