lyrics

Jesse was born on a small town farm
Had a kind heart never meant no harm
Did his job the way he was told
Don't think too hard, kid, you're only burning coal
And all of his questions only got in the way
Of the work he was doing and how he got paid
So he kept his mouth shut, tried hard not to sin
Scared to death of hell, thought he'd never win.

Allie came from Puget Sound
A young hippie chick, who was college bound
When her daddy wouldn't pay for a trip around the world
She posed naked on a site called "Girls on Girls"
The money only got her as far as Belize
Where a man whose legs, chopped at his knees
Said you only blessed to have all you need
And that would stick with her, so what is greed.

You seem so far away
But it's not true
Love, you're not alone
We are one body and the world is you.

Bob's up on the East Coast
Money's what he does the most
Does what he can, for his own
Wife, three kids, and mom's home loan
What he wants is good and pure
Never thought he was working for
The suffer of a brother in another land
A whole world apart

You seem so far away
But it's not true
Love, you're not alone
We are one body and the world is you.

Tiva is a shaman
Been making a call
To those who would listen
Or care at all
It all started with a dream
When she was seventeen
She said, there's no distance between you and me
Despite what you may see.

Jesse couldn't get to work the next day
Cause a young hippie chick was standing in his way
And right next to her were a thousand more
Sending a real strong message, shore to shore
Where Bob would lose more money in just one go
Than Tiva or Jesse could ever know
Who knew the press from just one protest
Could shut the plant down and bring justice.

Jesse's out of work
Allie's got no place to be
Bob's wondering where his money went
And Tiva's still got her dream
Well, it's all been done and the question stands
Who's future is in whose hands
Who will rise up, will stand down
Who will save the world, or let it burn to the ground

You seem so far away
But it's not true
Love you're not alone
We are one body and the world is you.
