Surroundings - Paper Cranes lyrics

Heartbeats join us all in unison, Lines in the sand divide us all Influencing a cultural divide That only fuels the fires We can never hold unity While people still take sides Creased together from broken parts and patched pieces. But we continue to grow apart, and let our world Separate beyond reason Where did we go so wrong? When did it all fall apart? Folded so carefully Like paper cranes Into the ways we think And opinions we hold Folded so carefully Like paper cranes But how are we to grow Without testing what we’re told We chose our fate The day we opened our mouths And began to speak with silvered tongues Standing on our own two feet, Choosing for ourselves, what is right to believe. What is wrong to adhere. The endless cultural divides Created from fear, Made only to destroy. Our sense of fellowship, Only strengthened through negativity Where did we go so wrong? When did it all fall apart? Folded so carefully Like paper cranes Into the ways we think And opinions we hold. Folded so carefully Like paper cranes But how are we to grow Without testing what we’re told. Nothing but fear Creates the borders Dividing us as No more than human resources Builds boundaries and tears us apart Take us back to the start Take us back to the start Folded so carefully Like paper cranes Into the ways we think And opinions we hold Folded so carefully Like paper cranes But how are we to grow Without testing what we’re told And realising that no one is right The venom on our lips Only fuels the fires We can never hold unity While people still take sides While people still take sides.
