Dangerous Dance

Too long in trouble
I wish it would end
Could we live side by side?
Could we be friends?
We're not all the same
I know this is true
But I am just me
And you are just you
We tell our own lies
We live our own past
The old dreams don't die
The memories last
But to die for a dream
Is such a tragic romance
Prejudice and pride do a dangerous dance
Oh, hear the pipes play
Take up your stance
And our children will pay
For our dangerous dance
The best part of reason
Gets lost in time
The dust of old books
Is still in our eyes
And there's beauty in old books
When there's truth on the page
And when we're all gone
What will the books say?
Oh, hear the pipes play
Take up your stance
And our children will pay
For our dangerous dance
Oh, hear the pipes play
Take up your stance
And our children will pay
For our dangerous dance
