Living in the Great Divide Songtext
von Jesse Daniel

There′s over seven billion people on this rock we call home
Somehow very few of us can get along
Nobody wants to walk in their neighbor's shoe
If it didn′t happen to me it shouldn't matter to you
We read it in the news and then we carry on

We're all counting down the minutes til our hearts stand still
Wastin′ all our time on an endless reel
Caught between a rock and a hard place of pride
Now we′re living in the great divide
Now we're living in the great divide

Oh we′re all used to livin' in our own blindfold
From the east to the west we all believe what we′re told
Dead tired from workin' just to pay our way
Prayin′ that we'll make it through another day
We miss the big picture and we fit their mold


We're all counting down the minutes til our hearts stand still
Wastin′ all our time on an endless reel
Caught between a rock and a hard place of pride
Now we′re living in the great divide
Now we're living in the great divide

We can build a bridge throughout this time
Close the gap that separates our minds
It′s a whole lot of work I know
Have patience 'cause change comes slow
And don′t worry about the steps we've yet to climb
They′ll come a time

We're all counting down the minutes til our hearts stand still
Wastin' all our time on an endless reel
Caught between a rock and a hard place of pride
Now we′re living in the great divide
Now we′re living in the great divide
Now we're living in the great divide
