You and me are from different tribes
  Never learned to talk, so we learned to fight
  Communication like water spilled
  What we can't take in was lost or killed
  
  We learned to live where we bore each child
  Every step we took lost another mile
  Came the day we were face to face
  Didn't understand so our instincts raced
  
  If we don't get together at all, we lose it
  Get to the table and talk, we'll choose it
  Forget what's been said before, confusing
  Out of the heart of it all our future's born
  If we don't look inside our souls,
  we could be gone
  
  Forty thousand years underneath your belt
  Now you have to pray where the white man knelt
  You've been ridiculed because of what you felt
  Tried to crucify you, but you fought like hell
  
  The dreams that lead your every move
  Full of stories you could never prove
  If god is part of the written word
  There are stories that your god ain't heard
  
  If we don't get together at all, we lose it
  Get to the table and talk, we'll choose it
  Forget what's been said before, confusing
  Out of the heart of it all our future's born
  If we don't look inside our souls,
  we could be gone
