lyrics

In the news I read
Of a sorrow
Of people dismissing people again
It seemed so commonplace
In the news I read
Of a protest
Only reading lines in faces
It seemed so obvious

When you dehumanized another person
You’re less a person
More a human tragedy


I read the news and shook
Didn’t take a second look
I read their faces that day
The pages they turned the way
I understood them completely
And with hardly even reading
I knew what side I was on
And with hardly even reading

I knew it well
I knew it well

When you dehumanized another person
You’re less a person
More a human tragedy

When you felt good about yourself
You could be good to other selves too
You could be good to other selves too
If you were good to yourself too
If you were good to yourself too
You would be good to other selves too
You would be good to other selves too
If you were good to yourself too

If you were good to yourself
It wouldn’t be you and nobody else
If you were good to yourself

When you dehumanized another person
You’re less a person
More a human tragedy

With all eyes on the solar eclipse
My heart was in Charlottesville
Then the rains came flooding down
In Houston, Texas
These natural distractions
Hardly lose their meaning
These natural signs
Flood and shine
Flood and shine
