When you first begin your journey
You're not sure of what you're learning
You're a sponge in the rain
Soaking love, soaking pain
And by the time you're thinking
And you're looking for a reason
Things are set in your soul
That you really can't explain
Hey, papa, we're the same, mama
We're the same with the same
Blood flowing in our veins
Hey, brother, we're the same, sister
We're the same with the name
Tell me do we really change
And if you're looking for the real way to love
And if it feels like you've only just begun
Don't ever give up
Well, the owl starting flying
And I felt like I was dying
With a hole in my soul
That I never could control
So I built myself a city
With no welcoming committee
And I lived there alone
I was chilled to the bone
Hey, papa, but in the pain, mama
We're the same with the same blood
Flowing in our veins
Hey, brother feel the shame, sister
We're the same in the shame
In the dirty acid rain, yeah
Love can be in a minor key
But still you love
While we could be
If we still believe in love
