Lyrics

We’ve come too far to have it come undone
The unraveling of everything we’ve sewn
I’m talking about the fabric of democracy
Wove from different places faces races and creeds
I wanna throw a line and pull you close to me
Let’s be brave and free

I call two arms I mean the loving kind
I call two arms ya love is so kind
I call two arms I said the loving kind

Now I don’t look like you you don’t think like me
That’s no reason to be enemies
We all have a little different gift to bring
Like discipline or spontaneity
Let’s agree to disagree oh say can you see

I call two arms I mean the loving kind
I call two arms your love is so fine
I call two arms I said the loving kind

The American dream enriches everything
We’ve got sweet bitter salty sour umami
Don’t ask me what umami means
l only know that it’s a very good thing
Like the melting pot of democracy
Won’t cha come and have a seat with me

I call two arms I mean the loving kind
I call two arms our love is so fine
I call two arms I said the loving kind

My grandparents barely speaking a word
Came here sight unseen and sound unheard
Immigrant blood is in all our veins
There’s one exception I don’t need to explain
They’ve been here for 15,000 years
The Native American strain

I call two arms I mean the loving kind
I call two arms our love is so fine
I call two arms I said the loving kind
