We Live, We Love, We Suffer Track

Cassette (2024)

I walk with you along the road
Our fates entangled
Our futures intertwined
We often stumble, sometimes fall
We need someone to love to make us whole.

We live, we love, we suffer
Walk along the road together
The differences between us don’t run deep
But when we lose our fellow feeling
Compassion for all life and being
Then we’ll tear the world apart

We seem distinct but we are joined
Below the surface
Connected at the root
Our differences have not undone
The common bond of love that makes us one

We laugh, we cry, we hunger
Sleep and dream, and wake in wonder
The differences between us don’t run deep
But when our will to love grows weaker
And rips and cracks and claws at nature
Then we’ll tear the world apart

The sun and moon they light our way
And mother earth we hear her sing
Old father time counts down our days
We end and when we end begin

But when we lose the will to love
Then we find that our song has been unsung

We live, we love, we suffer
Walk along the road together
The differences between us don’t run deep
But when our will to love grows weaker
And rips and cracks and claws at nature
Then we’ll tear the world apart
