Lyrics
stuck living our lives
selfishly set
so hard to trust each other
bent too many times
trying to care
quickly we build our fortress higher
the world is full of strangers
the world is full of ones
the world is lonely and beautiful
just hold my hand
build we our walls
walls of fear (which feign secure)
isolating, separating
one by one abating
communities are crumbling
our social web unraveling
lean on me
i'll lean on you
together, our walls come tumbling
we only have life
we only have love
let's face this world as two, as three, as four, as five
-we'll go stronger than one-
the world is full of strangers
the world is full of ones
the world is lonely and beautiful
just hold my hand
please hold my hand
