Lyrics

The Union

Oh the world it is a changing, and it seems its for the worse
Our lives need rearranging so that freedom must come first
We’ve been living in a fantasy while the world’s been going to hell
Time to reach out and find the best in me and the best in you as well

I’d like to find the perfect way to reach out and be your friend
Maybe on a better day we can find a way to bend

There’s a song we sang together now we’ve split into separate strains
And our melody’s like bad weather and there is no sweet refrain
I believe there is a better world it is waiting if we try
Beneath a single flag unfurled and our stars up in the sky

I’ll do anything to ease your pain if you would just get out of the rain
I would walk a mile to be in your shoes if we could just get rid of these chains

There’s a shadow across my country, but there’s a rainbow in the clouds
There’s a fire in every heart that sees where the light is not allowed
Oh we’ll hang through this together, or we’ll all hang separately
We need to change the world before it changes you and me

I’d like to find the perfect way to reach out and be your friend
Maybe on a better day we can find a way to bend
