[Intro]
Yeah...
Look closer
Look closer
[Verse 1]
In my eyes I see the world without the painted glass
Everybody guarding what they got, afraid to let it pass
One hand reaches for a ladder, one hand kicks the rung
They praise the word together, but they leave you when you're done
Corner store cashier knows my name but not my pain
Neighbors hear the sirens, close the blinds and wait for rain
Everybody got a circle, everybody draws a line
If the trouble isn't theirs, they call the distance doing fine
[Chorus]
Where is the community?
Tell me, where it be?
Everybody says we're people
But they only see their needs
Where is the community?
Buried underneath
All these locked doors, closed hearts
And a world that won't believe
[Verse 2]
I watched a hungry man get judged for asking for a plate
While a rich man calls it business when he profits from the weight
We turn away from suffering, then wonder why it's near
You can't build a home together if the walls are made of fear
Alot of human hearts got mirrors facing inward still
Every promise has a price tag, every kindness needs a bill
I don't say that hope is dead, I say it learned to hide
Maybe we can find it when we stop choosing sides
[Chorus]
Where is the community?
Tell me, where it be?
Everybody says we're people
But they only see their needs
Where is the community?
Buried underneath
All these locked doors, closed hearts
And a world that won't believe
[Bridge]
Slow down...
Look around...
Who will lift you when you fall?
Who will answer when you call?
If we never share the weight
We all disappear behind the gate
[Outro]
In my eyes, I see it plain
Love gets lost behind the gain
Where is the community?
Where is the community?
Maybe it starts with you and me
