The Great Divide

Gary Nicholson

Jimmy got his job back down at the coal mine
Billy lost his job at the EPA
Mama had to go to emergency
now she's counting on medicaid
Mary said she just can't have the baby
toughest choice she's ever had to make
but the daddy had to go back to Mexico
and crossing's getting harder every day
We're all in this together, so I have to ask why
If we're all in this together, why why
The Great Divide
Bobby's brother in law love's Rush Limbaugh
says all the rest is just fake news
he carries his gun to Sunday school
he's looking out for me and you
we give thanks at Thanksgiving
for the freedom he fought to defend
he still fights his demons every day
in a war that never end
We're all in this together, so I have to ask why
If we're all in this together, why why
The Great Divide
I'm not afraid of where you come from
I'm not gonna judge the way you pray
I only wish we could close our eyes
and know we're the same
We're all in this together, I hate to have to ask why
If we're all in this together, why why
The Great Divide
I'm not afraid of where you come from
I'm not gonna judge the way you pray
to whatever you've got to say
we gotta keep looking inside for the answers
til we can all see it clear
We're all in this together
So I have to ask why
If we're all in this together
Why why the Great Divide
Why why the Great Divide
I'm not afraid of where you come from
I'm not gonna judge the way you pray
we're all just trying to get home somehow
we've all got to find our own way
we gotta lean on the real things
a lot more love a lot less fear
keep looking inside for the answers
till we can all see it clear

We're all in this together
So I have to ask why
If we're all in this together
Why why the Great Divide
