my soul''s in hiding
my soul''s in hiding
oh my soul''s in hiding
when a baby cries, you know i envy his tears, so little does he know of the
ignorance and fear that will divide us until we are willing to change, until
the cup that we drink from is the very same.
my soul will be hiding
my soul will be hiding
hiding (hinding), hiding
