about

Our two cultures can work together if there is will.

lyrics

They say that you and I don’t work together well
Looks like you and I we have some rumours to dispel
Different styles, different taste
Doesn’t mean we can’t relate, we can make this better if we try

They say this boat is sinking, its just a matter of time
Split by indecision, leaky alibis
We can do the fixing, if we stop to listen
Find a way to turn this, you and I

I’ll be the hammer, you be the nail, I’ll be the water, you be the sail
Strip old boards to save our lives, Work together, to make it right
I will be the water, you the sail

Holes in rusty timbers, surrender the shore
Ignore the looming tempest, suffer the storm
We can stop the drifting, if we start believing
Make this tired vessel something more

I’ll be the hammer, you be the nail, I’ll be the water, you be the sail
Strip old boards to save our lives, Work together, to make it right
I will be the water, you the sail

Sail on, to some where new
Sail on, me and you and…..

I’ll be the hammer, you be the nail, I’ll be the water, you be the sail
Strip old boards to save our lives, Work together, to make it right
I will be the water, won’t let this boat go under, no-no
I will be the water, you the sail
You the sail
You the sail
