about

WE

The boy noticed commotion in front of the church. As he approached, he saw two men fighting. They argued over religion. They each had different ideas of what faith is and were fist fighting to win the point. Some prayed on the steps of the church while others just looked up to the sky.

The boy looked around for someone to help him decide.

lyrics

We
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)

We laugh, we cry
We strive to get by
We learn to live with hurt invective

We're only trying now, it's hard
We're only trying

We're black and white, we're blue and uptight
We fight to die over the belief of pie in the sky

I'm only trying now, it's hard
I'm only trying

We talk and shout
And banter about the things we know and every other farrago

We close our eyes hoping for some kind of surprise
We throw the blame
We praise ourselves yearning acclaim

We go to pray
Washing away sins on Sunday
We fight to die over the belief of pie in the sky
