We once were tribes and villages and clans
We feared the night and fought to keep our lands
But saw our work was eased with willing hands
So our arms opened
We grew to towns and cities and then states
We built our walls but opened up our gates
We learned that common goals entwined our fates
As our arms opened
There’s only us
There’s no one to condemn
There’s only us
There never was a them
There’s only us
There is no one to shame
We are the same
The fear of someone not the same as me
The hope of what together we can be
The patience with the ones who cannot see
We’ve our arms open
