We Are Not Helpless Lyrics - Stills Stephen

(Stephen Stills) 

We are not helpless, we are men 

What lies between us 

It can be set aside and ended 

Ev'ryday we learn more how to hate 

Shut the door 

And then we tell ourselves we can't relate 

Only to the ones who are the same 

Yet even they are diff'rent 

And ever so they shall remain 

All are strangers, all are friends 

All are brothers, brothers 

Open up, my friend, and learn to hear 

For even lying 

When it has nothing you should fear 

If you cannot let yourself be known 

By anyone 

Then you are hiding and not whole 

All are strangers, all are friends 

All are brothers, brothers 

We, your children, we would ask you all 

Please do not hide your eyes 

And listen when we call 

We will whisper, shout or make a scene 

We are the answer 

For we can live the peace we dream 

All are strangers, all are friends 

All are brothers, oh yeah, oh yeah 

Yes, America's children 

Are askin' ev'rybody some questions about how it is 

Yes, America's children 

Are makin' it hard to look them in the eyes 

America's children 

Are makin' it hard to live lies, you know, whoa, it is 

And America's children 

Are diggin' that ev'rywhere children 

Are diggin' we live on the earth 

We live on the earth, we live on the earth right now 

Yes, and it's right on, children of the earth, and it's right on 

Children of the earth, and it's right on 

Children of the earth and it's right on, right on, yeah 

This is what has made our nation free 

For life is change 

And only blind men cannot see 

The new order is upon us now 

It is the children 

They have the wisdom to be free 

All are strangers, all are friends 

All are brothers
