As the cold breaks down on me today
I will find a better way 
I won’t close my eyes and ears and cry
You’ve got yours and i’ve got mine 

And before i buy a gun i’ll get to know my neighbor 
Before the lines are drawn i’ll keep my light lit on 
And you can try to say i have to hate the other 
And before i buy a gun i’ll get to know my neighbor 

It’s a fragile thread that holds us all
Fraying at the seams 
While you hope and pray for what’s to come
Right now needs what it needs
