[00:38.14]More and more there is this animal
[00:43.02]Looking out through my eyes
[00:47.96]At all the traffic on the road to nowhere
[00:52.51]At all the shiny stuff around to buy
[00:57.46]At all the wires in the air
[01:02.56]At all the people shopping
[01:04.91]For the same blank stare
[01:07.80]At america the drastic
[01:09.93]That isolated geographic
[01:12.05]That's become infested with millionaires
[01:17.62]When you grow up surrounded
[01:21.41]By willful ignorance
[01:25.03]You have to believe
[01:26.57]Mercy has its own country
[01:30.67]And that it's round and borderless
[01:34.39]And then you have to grow wings
[01:38.92]And rise above it all
[01:46.18]Like there
[01:47.58]Where that hawk is circling
[01:53.62]Above that strip mall
[02:18.81]More and more there is this animal
[02:23.73]Looking out through my eyes
[02:28.40]Seeing that animals only take from this world
[02:33.40]What they need to survive
[02:38.59]But she is prowling through all the religions of men
[02:43.35]Seeing that time and time and time again
[02:48.44]Their gods have made them
[02:50.09]Special and above
[02:54.37]Nature's law
[02:55.83]And the respect thereof
[02:58.41]And I think when you grow up surrounded
[03:03.39]By willful ignorance
[03:06.98]You have to believe that mercy has its own country
[03:13.14]And that it's round and borderless
[03:16.98]And then you just grow wings
[03:21.58]And rise above it all
[03:28.65]Like there where that hawk is circling
[03:36.61]Above that strip mall
[04:01.96]Ask any eco-system
[04:06.99]Harm here is harm there
[04:09.78]And there and there
[04:12.11]And aggression begets aggression
[04:14.79]It's a very simple lesson
[04:17.09]That long preceded any king of heaven
[04:22.02]And there's this brutal imperial power
[04:27.18]That my passport says I represent
[04:32.14]But it will never represent where my heart lives
[04:36.91]Only vaguely where it went
[04:42.28]Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded
[04:47.24]By willful ignorance
[04:51.00]You learn that mercy has its own country
[04:57.29]And that it's round and borderless
[05:01.11]And then you just grow wings
[05:05.42]And rise above it all
[05:13.31]Like there
[05:15.15]Where that hawk is circling
[05:20.44]Above that strip mall
