Whose racist poison still flows
So scared of a moment of discomfort now
We turn away from the obvious
All we have is stolen and can't be owned

Beneath the one sky
Let this old world shatter
And transform
[Verse 4]
Allegiance to nothing at all
But the burning present moment
I cut the cord connecting then and now
And start again
I show the kid how to give up everything
