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
