Half a World Away

Kelly Keagy

Compositor: Jim Peterik / Kelly Keagy

Two grainy images on a black and white photograph
A hard reminder of how a world can be torn in half
Did you think you could ignore this feeling?
That you're not giving it enough?
Can you cut yourself off like that?

Can you hear these cries?
Can't you unknot these ties?
Can't pretend we stand alone
Seems all we've forgotten is more than we know
And what fools are we
To think we're separate entities
We could be half a world away and still be one

It seems so strange to me
I've witnessed a change of heart
To be too close to see, yet drifting so far apart
Can you understand the depth of feeling?
This connection is too strong
I can't cut you off just like that

Can you hear these cries?
Can't you unknot these ties?
Can't pretend we stand alone
Seems all we've forgotten is more than we know
And what fools are we
To think we're separate energy
We could be half a world away and still be one

Walk your walk, it's not enough to talk your talk
It's not enough to say you care and do nothing at all
It's never done, all life is to the power of one

It's never done, all life is to the power of one

Can you hear these cries?
Can't you unknot these ties?
Can't pretend we stand alone
Seems all we've forgotten is more than we know
And what fools are we
To think we're separate energy
We could be half a world away and still be one
