When we are One

Singing with the choir, we are born into this life
some of us raise hell and fire
some of us just dust

and the years go by like passing moments
when we are one, we are beautiful

in this world we tame the fires
we start the fires we breathe the fires
I wonder if we all are lilies, lilies open hearts desires

and the years go by like passing moments
when we are one, we are beautiful

even when you think, you're falling apart
you are stronger then the weight of your heart
and when you think your falling apart
don't be fooled by desire, reach for something higher

maybe we are exploding stars, exploding stars
maybe we are the greatest part, the greatest part

and the years go by like passing moments
when we are one, we are beautiful
