You and I

Are in the same room

We both think we’re fair

We both live for ‘truth’

But then how are we to define something so subjective

Living under the same roof

So here, these battles of wills

They beg for some proof of right versus wrong

Your approach seen as better than mine

Though it’s working for you

All I feel is disconnection

So now it’s your religion against my religion

My humble opinion ‘gainst yours–this does not feel like love

And it’s your conviction against my conviction

And I’d like to know what we’d see through the lens of love

 

And so now your grand assessment is that I’m not in your group

That I’m not your kind

And so we’re locked in a stalemate

With you in your corner, and me dismayed in mine

So now it’s your religion against my religion

My humble opinion ‘gainst yours —this does not feel like love

And it’s your conviction against my conviction

And I’d like to know what we’d see through the lens of love

 

And this stance keeps us locked and both in gloves

And this lie remains about us being separate

So now it’s your religion against my religion

My humble opinion ‘gainst yours —-this does not feel like love

And it’s your conviction against my conviction

And I’d like to know what we’d see through the lens of love
