If you think I’m wrong, and I think you’re wrong…we could both be right
If I think you’re mad and you think I’m mad, then we’re both... mad
    How can we rebuild the bridges? How can we start to change?
    How can we forgive ourselves or others…if we never listen to the strange?
If you think I’m blind, and I think you’re blind…what can we see?
If you think I’m lost, and I think you’re lost…we could all be
    Why wait for the crisis, before we change? I think our thinking
    needs to be rearranged...
    Like the six blind men, standing at the elephant, we can see
    only what we can feel
    We need to talk to each other to make the picture real
    To get to the future, we may just have to reveal
        The true songs of our hearts, the true words of our worlds
        The true love of our sisters and our brothers
        (and fathers and mothers)
        For all of the love, and to help us all heal
        We can begin—just listen to the others
        We can begin—just listen to each other
