Why Do We Fight?

[Verse]
Why do we brawl, words sharp as a fang?
Over syllables stretched or the way it rang?
Tongue flips, twisted, on a sacred sound,
Spilling ink on scrolls, spinning 'round and 'round.
[Chorus]
Why do we fight, why do we divide?
When spirit’s a river, no shore, no side.
Colors fade, accents shatter,
On the other side, none of it’ll matter.
[Verse 2]
Skin tones clash like cymbals in war,
Earthly palettes paint walls, not doors.
In the afterglow, shadows blend,
No borders, no hue—just souls transcend.
[Chorus]
Why do we fight, why do we divide?
When spirit’s a river, no shore, no side.
Colors fade, accents shatter,
On the other side, none of it’ll matter.
[Bridge]
What’s a tone, what’s a shade in the light of the divine?
Quibbling over grains in the sands of time.
Faith’s not a mirror, can’t see His face,
But love’s the language, the human race.
[Outro]
Scratch the vinyl, let it loop again,
Why do we fight? Where do we begin?
Spirit’s a song, no tempo, no key,
Let it play raw—unite, set free.
