Maybe I should learn how to sympathize
But my heart is beating and my souls alive
Maybe I should tell you what you wanna hear
But a friend am I, and a friend is all you need
It's all you need, yeah
Maybe I should tell you all the crazy lies
That your future isn't yours and that the fire does
Maybe I should tell you what you wanna hear
Slip right back into the pack so I can disappear no
Maybe we should take a break now
To trample fears, and break the mold I'll
Find a way to tell you this truth
All the people wanna shut the front door
Living lies is not something I stand for
People crying out to their great glory
All the children listen to my story
That a little white boy from the Mississippi said he'd
Like it if we could all make amends but a dream
I told you it's just a dream
And a little black girl from Louisiana said she'd
Like it if we could all break some bread but a dream
I told you it's just a dream
