Alien Shore Lyrics - Counterparts - Rush

You and I, we are strangers by one chromosome 

Slave to the hormone, body and soul 

In a struggle to be happy and free 

Swimming in a primitive sea. 

You and I, we must dive below the surface 

A world of red neon and ultramarine 

Shining bridges on the ocean floor 

Reaching to the alien shore. 

For you and me, sex is not a competition 

For you and me, sex is not a job description 

For you and me, we agree.

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You and I, we are pressed into these solitudes 

Color and culture, language and race 

Just variations on a theme 

Islands in a much larger stream. 

For you and me, race is not a competition 

For you and me, race is not a definition 

For you and me, we agree 

Reaching for the alien shore. 

You and I, we reject these narrow attitudes 

We add to each other, like a coral reef 

Building bridges on the ocean floor 

Reaching for the alien shore.

For you and me, we hold these truths to be self evident 

For you and me, we'd elect each other president 

For you and me, we might agree 

But that's just us. 

Reaching for the alien shore.
