Knots & Grains from Sparrow & Flower by Jordan Coley

We are all walking blind
Believing the planks in our eyes
Are just what the world looks like

So when our neighbors describe
Different knots and grains we just divide
Never questioning our sight

We just divide
We’d rather be right
Like taking a side
Is all that counts in life

The salt from the springs of our mouths
Defines just who keeps us around
What a self-righteous sound

If that’s what this way’s all about
Then strike my name you can count me out
I’d rather be found

Guilty of loving too much
In peace and in trust

So tell me what’s the point
Of saying they’re wrong
When what they need is to have a voice
Somewhere to belong

When all you accomplish
Is pushing everyone away
Do you consider the weight of what you say

It’s clear your confidence is rooted
In getting your way
And now you’re bitter as you watch it decay

You’ll reap what you’ve sown

So tell me what’s the point
Of saying they’re wrong
What what they need is to have a voice
Somewhere to belong

So tell me what’s the point
Of saying they’re wrong
When what they need is to have a voice
Somewhere to belong
