By willful ignorance
At all the wires in the air
Only vaguely where it went
You have to believe that mercy has its own country
But it will never represent where my heart lives
Ask any ecosystem
And that it's round and borderless
And there's this brutal imperial power
'Cause I know when you grow up surrounded
It's a very simple lesson
Seeing that time and time and time again
And, and rise above it all
And, and rise above it all
That's become infested with millionaires
At all the shiny stuff around to buy
What they need to survive
And that it's round and borderless
And then you just grow wings
Above that strip mall
Looking out through my eyes
And then you just grow wings
At all the traffic on the road to nowhere
By willful ignorance
You have to believe that mercy has its own country
By willful ignorance
That long preceded the king of heaven
And I think when you grow up surrounded
Like there, where that hawk is circling
At America the drastic, that isolated geographic
Nature's law and the respect thereof
But she is prowling through all the religions of men
You have to believe that mercy has its own country
And then you have to grow wings
Harm here, is harm there and there and there?
And aggression begets aggression
Above that strip mall
Seeing that animals only take from this world
And that it's round and borderless
Their Gods have made them special and above
At all the people shopping for the same blank stare
And rise above it all
Like there where that hawk is circling
More and more there is this animal
Yes and I think, when you grow up surrounded
That my passport says I represent
Like there, where that hawk is circling
