Before It Had a Name

I look at a photograph There you are looking back We were so much younger then Younger than we'll be again Suddenly from grace we fell Who knows why, who can tell? We became a cage A container for rage But wilderness was wildness before it became tame There was a spark before there was flame Love is the answering of its own longing And it can always be reclaimed Cause our love had a spirit before it had a name Tribalism, nihilism, egotism, altruism Different prisons, we become victims of our own -isms I've walked the city streets Many good people I meet All these eyes look back at me One country is what I see Cause wilderness was wildness before it became tame There was a spark before there was flame Love is the answering of its own longing And it can always be reclaimed Cause America had a spirit before we had a name Anger burns things down We must till the ground For a new seed to grow United we stand tall Divided we will fall Just ask the kids, cause they still know If you want a human solution, Fight for human connection If you want a human solution, Fight for human connection Fight for human connection Fight for human connection Cause humanness has a naturalness Not all things need to be tame There was a spark before there was flame Love is the answering of its own longing And it can always be reclaimed Cause America had a spirit before it had a name Our love had a spirit before it had a name You and I had a spirit before we had a name And the spirit can be reclaimed
