Strangers on this road we are on.  We are not two; we are one.

 

So, you've been where I've just come from the land that brings losers on.

So, we will share this road we walk & mind our mouths and beware our talk.

'Til peace we find tell you what I'll do:

All the things I own I will share with you.

And if I feel tomorrow like I feel today,

We'll take what we want and give the rest away.

 

CHORUS:

 

Holy man and holy priest, this love of life makes me weak in my knees.

And when we get there, make your play. 'Cause soon I feel you're gonna carry us away.

In a promised lie you made us believe.

For many men, there is so much grief.

And my mind is proud, but it aches with rage.

And if I live too long, I'm afraid I'll die.

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two; we are one
