we could pool our money together and buy it
spread it out on the bed, count it up and give it to the Trader
but we find ourselves standing in lines of disappointment
appointed to our designated walk...don't run...those dogs don't have teeth
Wish I could tell you the benefits of forgiveness
we could have a party and invite all of our enemies
the friend-of-me is waiting by the phone that never rings
soundlessness does not translate into I'm sorry
'cause that fake smile hiding the frown only works on the weak
Wishing I could tell you that love conquers all
we could straight up walk into a strangers home
start preparing dinner at high noon without gettin' shot
no questions asked, only a request to go light on the spices
I wish us all peace, forgiveness and love...
