We run our races, chasing gold
Counting wins we can’t hold
Building towers just to fall
And still we’re wanting more than all
And I’ve been blind, I’ve worn the crown
But I can’t keep on looking down
What if we tried
To leave each soul in better shape?
Lift a little more than we take
Light a fire, not just escape
What If we tried
To build the world with what we say
To heal instead of walk away
To leave each soul in better shape
We draw our lines, defend our sides
But love’s the quiet kind that hides
It’s not a war, it’s how we live
To listen more, to learn, forgive
What if we tried
To leave each soul in better shape?
Lift a little more than we take
Light a fire, not just escape
What if we tried
To build the world with what we say
To heal instead of walk away
To leave each soul in better shape
