Counterpart
Finding Unity Beyond Borders
Lyrics
Help, I need some help
Expressing a plea for assistance.
My head is just above the waterline
Feeling overwhelmed but managing to stay afloat.
Help, I need a lifeline
Seeking a life-saving connection or support.
Can't you see it in my eyes
Requesting understanding through eye contact.
Won't you reach out your hand
Asking for a helping hand.
Help another stand
Encouraging others to support each other.
Lay down your pride
Encouraging humility and vulnerability.
Step across the line
Encouraging crossing boundaries for empathy.
Set aside your time
Encouraging allocating time for understanding.
Here in my paradigm
Describing a personal perspective or worldview.
Lay down your heart
Encouraging emotional openness.
Set aside your fear
Encouraging overcoming fears for connection.
I am your counterpart
Asserting a shared identity or connection.
Living on the other side
Existing in a different, perhaps challenging, situation.
Living on the other side
-Look and see me now
Inviting deeper perception beyond physical appearance.
With more than just your eyes
Highlighting shared humanity and existence.
I live here too
Stressing the commonality of experience.
There is no somebody else
Rejecting the notion of an "other."
I hope there's still a soul in you
Expressing hope for empathy in others.
Won't you reach out your hand
Reiterating the call for support and understanding.
Help another stand
-Lay down your pride
-Step across the line
-Set aside your time
-Here in my paradigm
-Lay down your heart
Affirming the shared emotional experience.
Set aside your fear
-I am your counterpart
-Living on the other side
Repeating the theme of living in a different reality.
Oh, you could save me
Expressing the potential for quick salvation through kindness.
In a minute
-With a little kindness
-Oh, do more than pray for me
Encouraging more than passive support, asking for active kindness.
You got it in you
-Just a little kindness
-Show a little
Emphasizing the importance of showing kindness.
Show a little kindness
Repeating the call to lay down pride for connection.
Lay down your pride
Reiterating the call for empathy and understanding in a paradigm.
Step across the line
-Set aside your time
-Welcome to my paradigm
-Lay down your heart
Affirming the shared emotional connection as counterparts.
Set aside your fear
-I am your counterpart
-Living on the other side
Repeating the theme of living on the other side.
I'm living in your paradise
Describing a coexistence in a paradisiacal setting.
I'm living in your paradise
-I'm living on the other side
-Lay down your pride
Reiterating the call for crossing boundaries for understanding.
Step across the line
-Set aside some time
-Here in my paradigm
-Living in your paradise
Expressing the paradox of living in another's paradise.
Living in your paradise
-I'm living on the other side
