Help me (help me) I need someone To help me understand Why aren’t we kinder To our fellow man (hey!) Why after centuries Of hate and regret We still look on And see the other Where we see those Who haven’t made it yet Help me help us all To see the problems With the systems we create Help us help each other Not defer to another To be accountable To what we make Help us navigate The things we make The lives we change The debts we leave For someone else to pay Who gets the future? Who bears the weight? Who calls it progress When the damage is displaced? [Overlapping voices, building] Help me (help me) I need someone Who doesn't turn away When the damage has been done Help us (help us) To recognize The common thread In a stranger's life We built a world That thinks for us And taught it everything Except how to love We made a mirror Of everything we know And wonder why It only shows The things we won't outgrow [Voices fragment into overlapping calls] Help me Help you Help us Help who? Help me Help you Help us See it through
