UNITED BEFORE YOU KNEW
You take a long look at eternity
Then you think, “No one sees this the way that I do”
You look again, it’s different now
Don’t think you’re alone, man, I see it too

It’s a shame that it takes tragedy to bring together segregated masses
But the truth can be nasty sometimes
Look out for me, I’ll look out for you
Sometimes it’s all we can do

	Chorus:  You got me here
If not physically, then in your soul
And no matter what crosses your path
You can and will reach your goal
Take everything that’s thrown your way
I’m forever within and I’m there to stay
Because I am here with you
United before you knew

Everything takes on a different meaning now
Sacrifice is never fun
What’s supposed to bring us so close together
Ends up pushing us farther apart than ever before

	Chorus

Clasp your hands and kneel child it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
There is nothing that you can’t handle
Look within and reach out arms stretched high
I’m your fire lighting your candle

	Chorus (x2)
