We Came This Far
Rising Above the Fractured World: We Came This Far
Lyrics
The weather report was cold today
The weather report indicates a cold day.
If you look into peoples eyes
Observing people's eyes reveals a lack of love in their expressions.
They don't look like they love anybody anymore
Suggests a general decline in people's capacity to love.
The taxi drivers are making you walk home
Taxi drivers forcing pedestrians to walk home, possibly reflecting societal issues.
And those with ancient souls wander the world unprotected
People with ancient souls navigate the world without protection.
The by-product of the algorithms that maintains power
Algorithmic systems maintaining power create caution among people.
Makes us cautious of each other
Cautiousness among people due to algorithmic influence.
But it's not right to hate a woman because she is different
Rejects hating someone based on gender differences.
Anymore than when it is a child
Extends the rejection of hatred to children.
Or a dreamer or a foreign player
Discourages hatred based on attributes like being a dreamer or a foreigner.
But it's not ok to hate our own kind
Emphasizes the unacceptability of hating one's own kind.
It will once again bring us all to our knees
Predicts dire consequences if hatred persists within the community.
Come on people stand up
Encourages people to stand up against negativity.
And let us see once more how we came so far
Reflection on the journey of humanity and progress.
There's revolution in the bones of men
Suggests a revolutionary spirit within people.
And in the cradle of woman
Highlights the potential for change in both men and women.
And it's not always in the options we are given
Choices don't always define right and wrong.
That determines right from wrong
Right and wrong are determined when created with love.
But when we are made in love
Emphasizes the transformative power of love.
We can light up the dark
Love can dispel darkness and bring light.
In the time it takes to fight
Time spent fighting can be used for positive change.
A song can change your life
Music has the potential to profoundly impact lives.

Medicine

-Engineering
-And communication
-We are almost unimaginable
-Dreams are now even possible
-But people can and they do change the world
-While leaders are just reading speeches
-And let us not forget mankind stood on the moon
-One man stood in front of that tank in Tiananmen Square
-Not a nation
-Not a religion
-Not a political party
-Come on people stand up
-And let us see once more how we came so far
Encourages people to stand up and appreciate the progress humanity has made.
