flobots - related lyrics

[intro]
i am one in 7 billion searching for my family
now you’ve come innocent love
my ears can hear my eyes can see

[chorus]
we are related we’re arm in arm
we are unarmed
we are related we’re arm in arm in arm

[bridge: johnny 5]
and i’m overwhelmed by so much misery
see people i know see people i love see people divided up so bitterly
watch out for the enemy enemy enemy enemy enemy preaching it like a liturgy
and i pray for the day when you open the gates and say you finally have forgiven me

[verse 1: johnny 5]
my cell vibrates and i know it’s not you
i am now somebody who you will not talk to
how could i expect you to forgive me
after all our history i had to act atrocious
remember hugging big trees back in nacogdoches
couldn’t let go
just couldn’t let go
this is how we live
holding onto memories
searching for my families
roots trees planted deep
grew up into enemies
now
my cell vibrates cuz i’m singing off key
locked in a box
like every day i wake up in the body of an animal
i know it’s not me
but i’m accountable
nails to a cross
reach back touch the moment i was innocent
fold it to my chest
clutch and hold it til my sins are cleansed
benefit 7 billion souls with my penitence
open up the penitentiary gates now
send us in

[chorus]

[bridge: johnny 5]
and i’m overwhelmed by so much misery
see people i know see people i love see people divided up so bitterly
so bitterly

[verse 2: brer rabbit]
i’m flying on a phoenix path
been down and beaten back
born in the ash been the first to come in last
been the last one standing
with a match to light the candle
on the downside of up say
radhaghast to let them in my castle
cast aside the old code words
greet the people at the gates
we are blood others
found the secrets of love
beneath the sequence of our shame
the weakness of these chains
is when we make them visible
reclaim our greatness
when we break them
miracles
go higher than
deoxyribonucleic acid
our heartsand songs our greatest -sset
scarred by the latest hazard
cynically suited up in a hazmat
spiritual
battle
temple grandin with the cattle
prod the people against greed
we need another seattle
chiefly
leading hands
we can be peter pan
and dancing with our shadows

[chorus]

[outro]
this whole world is turning all the time
a revolution every day
in the sun
innocent blood
is drying on the ground of it

[chorus]
