Oceans Between Us

You don't seem to see
The way that you choose to be
Is doing damage to the people I love
It's doing damage to me

You say it's not right
To talk politics
I say it's not polite
To cheer on those standing on people's necks

There's such a distance between these words
What we say, and how we're heard
There's such a distance between these worlds
Our intentions, and how they unfurl

There's oceans between us
There's oceans between us
There's oceans between us
And these waves keep rolling in

You don't seem to see
Neutral is no way to be
It's just an illusion
Evil is advantaged by confusion

Say you don't wanna fight
As if that makes you right
I say that's taking a side
You benefit oppressors as you abide

There's such a distance between these words
What we say, and how we're heard
There's such a distance between these worlds
Our intentions, and how they unfurl

There's oceans between us
There's oceans between us
There's oceans between us
And these waves keep rolling in

There's oceans between us
There's oceans between us
There's oceans between us
And these waves keep rolling in
