1000 Miles Apart lyrics

I wonder when this poison seed made a root and grew a weedI wonder when I taught my feet not to walk down certain streetsI want to feel what I believe: that we are all the sameIt’s not our houses, it’s our hearts 1000 miles apartYou stay there, and I'll stay here, into our corners we disappearAnd we don’t ever have to talk, 'cause you like hiphop and I like rockBut sometimes thoughts hurt just as bad as striking cheeks with handsIt’s less our homes and more our hearts 1000 miles apartWhen will we have eyes to see?When will we learn?Will we ever have eyes to seeThat from our colours we learn?A change of heart, a change of tune, can we forgive each other’s wounds?Can we cut down this fence of weeds, and neighbors, close as brothers, be?Cannot love conquer even when we don’t look the same?'Cause we don’t have to keep our hearts 1000 miles apart
