"The Same December" lyrics

"The Same December"

Once was this ball
With a line straight down the middle
One side was black and the other one white
And they both understood so little

That they spent their whole lives trying to tell each other what time it was
And all along it did not matter what either said
Because, because

You only know what you know
You only see what your heart will show
You only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end, that's where we'll go
So let's go

Once was a golden idol that went to the winners
Needless to say it didn't make 'em feel any less a sinner
'Cause the very next morning, the whole damn world was the same, yes it was
The idol's still shining, but the voice inside, it said
"There ain't no winners in this game."

You only know what you know
You only see what your heart will show
You only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end, that's where we'll go
So let's go

There once was an angel
Who most certainly watched over me
But if it got me through the day
Is it crazy?
Yeah, I'll be crazy

Until the demons fall as far as anyone can fall
When they reap what they done sowed, I'll be standing tall
We spend our whole lives trying to dog the other man
When what we need to do is try to give him all we can

You only know what you know, and uh
You only see what your heart will show, and uh
You only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end, that's where we'll go
So let's go

Let's go
