Lyrics

We go high
When they go low
I know they don't know
What they're doing

When they tell their lies
Spread around rumors
I know they're still human
And they need my love

Gonna stand side by side
Our hearts in command
Love as our guide

We go high
When they go low
I know they don't know
What they're doing
I have a mind
To bury them whole
When they go low
To tell you the truth

I wait for the time
When we are all brothers
Holding each other
Heaven on earth

Gonna stand side by side
Our hearts in command
Love as our guide

We go high
When they go low
I know they don't know
What they're doing

We go high
When they go low
I know they don't know
What they're doing
