Come, sit, take the load off Talk with me a while Community is common pain And common joy and offered time We don't have to agree on everything You learn something from me And I learn something from you We all have a story And a past we lived through And I think it's kind of beautiful We were born for the struggle We were born for the pain Eve ate the apple and I did the same Eve ate the apple and I did the same We're so busy capturing and broadcasting The moment that we do not live it So consumed with the playback of our lives We don't know we are not in it Put down the camera and look me in the eye So much for, so much for the myth of progress Seems to me it's still about who gots the mostest While the pigeon holers hold their placards high We were born into trouble We were born into pain Eve ate the apple and I did the same Eve ate the apple and I did the same We are, we are A ragamuffin remnant if we are honest Oh Abraham We are the stars you were promised I wanna feel something real even if it's hard Like facing the gap between the people we wanna be And the people we are See you and I, we're not so different Think it's time I set sail from Disillusionment to hope Take that big, big river In my small, small boat Show myself we're not all darkness All darkness We were born for the beauty, for the poetry of pain Surely as sparks fly upward from the flame Eve ate the apple and I did the same Eve ate the apple and I did the same
