We Are Neighbors
Harmony in Diversity: Embracing the Neighbors We Are
Lyrics
We are neighbors
We share a common space
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Expressing affirmation or agreement)
We are neighbors
Reiteration of shared proximity
Whether we wanna be or not
Whether we like it or not, we are connected
Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so
Repetition for emphasis on a previous statement
Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?
-If everybody looked the same
If everyone looked identical
We'd get tired of looking at each other
We would become bored of each other
You couldn't tell the lady next door
Physical appearance wouldn't distinguish neighbors
From your own damn mother
Neighbors would be indistinguishable from one's own family
If variety ain't the spice of life
Diversity is essential for a fulfilling life
Then why are some
Rhetorical question emphasizing the value of diversity
Peppercorn lights so nice?
Even small differences are valuable
You telling me things
Discussing limitations based on willingness, not ability
That you can't do
-It's not that you can't
-It's that you just don't want to
-We are neighbors
Reiteration of the theme of shared proximity
We are neighbors
-We are neighbors
-(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
-We are neighbors
-Whether we wanna be or not
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so
Repetition for emphasis
Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?
-You put me in prison in my own house
Describing a feeling of confinement and the need for perspective
(Yes, yes, you did)
-And expect me to be quiet as a mouse
-(Yes, yes, you did)
-When I see it your way
-You let me out
-(Yes, yes, you did)
-But here is something
-To think about
-(Yes, yes, you did)
-The good and
Expressing the inevitability of both good and bad experiences
The bad die together
-Nobody's gonna live
-Forever and ever
-The truth is the light
Highlighting the importance of truth and unity
That you should know
-Let's walk in
-The sunshine together
-We are neighbors
Reiteration of the idea that we are neighbors, like it or not
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
-We are neighbors
-We are neighbors
-We are neighbors
-Whether we wanna be or not
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so
Repetition for emphasis
Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so
-Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know
Continued emphasis on the theme of being neighbors
We are neighbors
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
-We are neighbors
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
-We are neighbors
Repetition for a strong conclusion
(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
-We are neighbors
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
-We are neighbors
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
-We are neighbors
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
-We are neighbors
Final repetition for a lasting impact
(Bom-bom-bom-bom, I told you so)
-(Bom-bom-bom-bom, didn't you know?)
