Verse 1

Sometimes it seems
There cannot be peace
In a world so armored up in rage
If I listen now
Lay my weapons down
Then I could lean into Your pain

Chorus

Let me seek to understand before I’m understood
Let me want to hear more than
I want to be heard
You are not a threat to me
You’re family
I need your voice
I need your song
We need true belonging

Verse 2

The table’s long
It goes on and on
There’s room for everybody here
Bring your difference
Come in with confidence
We’re not the same without you here

Chorus

Let me seek to understand before I’m understood
Let me want to hear more than
I want to be heard
You are not a threat to me
You’re family
I need your voice
I need your song
We need true belonging

Bridge

This is how they’ll know
This is how they’ll know us
By our love
By our love

Chorus

Let me seek to understand before I’m understood
Let me want to hear more than
I want to be heard
You are not a threat to me
You’re family
I need your voice
I need your song
We need true belonging

Interlude

We need true belonging

Bridge

This is how they’ll know
This is how they’ll know us
By our love
By our love
