"Us All" lyrics

"Us All"

Here we are faced with choice
Shutters and walls or open embrace
Like it or not the human race
Is us all

History is what it is
Scars we inflict on each other don't die
But slowly soak into the DNA
Of us all

Of us all
Us all

I pray we not fear to love
I pray we be free of judgment and shame
Open the vein, let kindness rain
O'er us all

O'er us all
O'er us all
Us all
