Outside The Great Divide

He used to be a brother, he used to be a friend

We used to climb on fences

We didn't need to mend

We march upon the streets, we used to stop and chat

Now Hiding behind clever signs

And our favorite color hats

I'm not looking left

I'm not looking right

I'm looking straight ahead

For a world without the hype

To a life more simplified

Outside the great divide

Outside the great divide

We don't have to get even, being from different sides

I know what you believe in

I know where your heart lies

Both sides can't be right, both sides can't be wrong

Its both funny and sad to hear

Truth singing its own swan song

I'm not looking left

I'm not looking right

I'm looking straight ahead

For a world without the hype

To a life more simplified

Outside the great divide

Outside the great divide

Everyone thinks they are right

Nobody likes to hear they're wrong

Some get pushed to the front

And some get dragged along

We're hardened in our silos, and hardly take the time

To stop, talk, and listen

Inside the great divide

He used to be a brother, he used to be a friend

We used to climb on fences

We didn't need to mend

I'm not looking left

I'm not looking right

I'm looking straight ahead

For a world without the hype

To a life more simplified

Outside the great divide

Outside the great divide

To a life more dignified

Outside the great divide
