I can't believe what I'm about to do
Save the people who were a pain to me too
Because I finally realized
Intolerance has two sides
Lock me up and throw away the key
The helicopters descend down on me
I'm sure they think that I'm crazy
And yet they thank me
And I walk around the fire burning
It clears my soul It clears my mind
To know that I've done right
And the rubble is behind me
it fills the air with smoke, oh, oh
But as clear as I see
With the choir all in robes, they're singing
We know who we are, oh, oh
We know who we are
And then a flash of light comes from the sky
We know who we are
The horizon starts to burn bright
I look directly up
I see the sky change
Its the dawn of a brand new day, oh
The old is gone
It's passed away
This is the place we knew it went down in flames
So much for a safe space
We know who we are, oh
We know who we are
And then a flash of light comes from the sky
We know who we are
The horizon starts to burn bright
