Looking out through my eyes
At all the traffic on the
road to nowhere
At all the shiny stuff around to buy
At all the wires in the air
/>
At all the people shopping
For the same blank stare
At america the drastic
That
isolated geographic
That's become infested with millionaires
When you grow up
surrounded
By willful ignorance
You have to believe
Mercy has its own country
/>
And that it's round and borderless
And then you have to grow wings
And rise above it
all
Like there
Where that hawk is circling
Above that strip mall
/>
More and more there is this animal
Looking out through my eyes
Seeing that animals
only take from this world
What they need to survive
But she is prowling through all the
religions of men
Seeing that time and time and time again
Their gods have made them
/>
Special and above
Nature's law
And the respect thereof
And I think when
you grow up surrounded
By willful ignorance
You have to believe that mercy has its own
country
And that it's round and borderless
And then you just grow wings
And rise
above it all
Like there where that hawk is circling
Above that strip mall
/>
Ask any eco-system
Harm here is harm there
And there and there
And aggression
begets aggression
It's a very simple lesson
That long preceded any king of heaven
/>
And there's this brutal imperial power
That my passport says I represent
But it will
never represent where my heart lives
Only vaguely where it went
Cuz I know when
you grow up surrounded
By willful ignorance
You learn that mercy has its own country
/>
And that it's round and borderless
