lyrics

Just when you needed her
to be a banal blur,
On the surface simplicity
but you lay her down you'll see

She's nobody else.
She's not simply help.
She may change your world
like nobody else.

Assume and you may think
he has a head of meat.
On the surface simplicity,
but a layer down you'll see.

He's nobody else.
He's not simply help.
He may change your world
like nobody else.

To protect each other from the blight
we use the color and the light
and melanin's a melody.

To protect each other through the night
we use our hearts as second sight
to wade us through what we can't see.

Justice is blinding me
to find an honesty.
On the surface simplicity,
but there's truth in everything.

And I'm nobody else.
You're nobody else.
We can change the world
with everyone's help.
