Same Blood Lyrics

[Intro]
Same blood
Born on divided soil
Speaking in different tongues
We all bleed the same
Same blood
We all bleed the same

[Verse 1]
Hope of progress is tainted
By the echoes of history
This plague keeps coming back
We repeat our sins again and again
Are we building a future?
Or reliving the past?
Embracing acceptance
Or drinking from the cup of bitterness?

Pull the planks of judgment from your eyes
You'll see the empty space inside, inside
It's time that you turn on the light

[Chorus]
Oh, the confines of a mind
When the box is kept closed tight
Like a virus the ignorance multiplies
Open the box and open up your eyes

[Refrain]
Same blood
We bleed the same
Then return to dust
We all bleed the same
Same blood
We all bleed the same

[Verse 2]
Hope of progress is tainted
By the echoes of history
This plague keeps coming back
We repeat our sins again and again
Can we heal the division?
Bring a peace that will last
Level the scales of justice
Leave the hate in the past

[Chorus]
Oh, the confines of a mind
When the box is kept closed tight
Like a virus the ignorance multiplies
Open the box and open up your eyes

[Outro]
Now close the mouth that you've had open wide
The streets run red from this ignorance
The blood that has been spilled
Is the same blood in your veins
