My momma once told me
Only two things matter
How you treat yourself
And how you treat others
Throw stones at a glass house
Watch the whole thing shatter
We're all broken pieces
Trying to hold it together
We're divided by war
We're divided by pride
Carve up the whole damn world
'Cause we're divided by tribes
There's ties in the truth
I see me in your eyes
A mystery between us
We don't recognize
What would it take to remind us
We can kill it all with kindness
Lord hear me cry
If we could be human kind
Had an old friend call me
Hadn't seen in years
She fought overseas
Fighting back the tears, she said
"There's two things I've learned
Only one is true
You can change the world
Or it changes you," 'cause
We're divided by war
We're divided by pride
Carve up the whole damn world
'Cause we're divided by tribes
There's ties in the truth
I see me in your eyes
A mystery between us
We don't recognize
What would it take to remind us
We can kill it all with kindness
Lord hear me cry
If we could be human kind
My papa once told me
Don't hold your anger
It's all skin deep
When they point their fingers
We're all just mirrors
And what they don't see
Says more about them
Than who you can be, yeah
We're divided by war (we're divided by war)
We're divided by pride (pride)
Carve up the whole damn world (oh-oh)
'Cause we're divided by tribes (we're divided by tribes)
There's ties in the truth (I know)
I see me in your eyes (look in my eyes)
A mystery between us (between us, between us)
We don't recognize, 'cause
War, and we're divided by war (Oh, Lord)
Pride, and we're divided by pride
War, and we're divided by war (Shame on the whole damn world)
Tribes, and we're divided by tribes ('Cause we're divided by tribes)
War, and we're divided by war (Divided by tribes)
Pride, and we're divided by pride (Ah-ah-ah)
War, and we're divided by war (I see you, I see you)
Tribes, and we're divided by tribes (Between us, between us, oh)
What would it take to remind us
We can kill it all with kindness
Lord hear me cry
If we could be human kind
Only two things matter
How you treat yourself
And how you treat others

I'm with you William - this is a self-help story like Joe South's Games People Play was, it won't score big with the cool-obsessed dope-and-night club crowd, but it is chock full of truth.
