aren t we one

My Morning Jacket

Aren t we one? aren t we one?
Aren t we one- already?

We had to flood out of our nation
And head straight into the sun
You know i would have stayed if i could have
But the world i knew was already gone

I dreamt we were past all the judgment
Based on faith or the shade of our skin
I saw we were connected as people
All the same in the eyes of the sun

Aren t we one? aren t we one?
Aren t we one- already?

You know i had my reasons for leaving
So hard to stay when you lost what you love
It shouldn t take disaster to wake us
To admit that we can t do it alone

This land s supposed to offer some peace
Too many chains in the home of the free
So many lost souls seeking redemption
So many hungry hearts seeking relief

Aren t we one? aren t we one?
Aren t we one- already?
