Lyrics
I've got friends who fly blue flags
And some that stick with red
Just because we don't agree
Don't mean they should be dead
Once there was a time
We could agree to disagree
Now it seems like everyone
Forgot what freedom means
Free to feel what I think real
Free to chart my course
But today that freedom seems
Like it's on life support
Every nightly evening news
Is only filled with hate
Violence and weapons out
Where we used to just debate
Bridge:
We're all brothers and sisters
The divide is artificial
'Stead of lighting up the fuse
Can't we meet in the middle
Chorus:
There's a better way tonight
We can solve the riddle
Forget the talk of left and right
Then meet in the middle
No tit for tat while blaming friends
Let's turn it down a little
Die from fires lit at both ends
Or live in the middle
Thoughts and prayers every time
Another life is lost
Talking heads keep braying on
But we're who pay the cost
What God above must think of us
I don't pretend to guess
But He's probably washed his hands
Of the entire mess
Time to do our own cleaning
Reach out instead of run
Listen when another speaks
Without picking up a gun
Bridge:
We're all brothers and sisters
The divide is artificial
'Stead of lighting up the fuse
Can't we meet in the middle
Chorus:
There's a better way tonight
We can solve the riddle
Forget the talk of left and right
Then meet in the middle
No tit for tat while blaming friends
Let's turn it down a little
Die from fires lit at both ends
Or live in the middle
