Alien Shore - 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,
For you and me,
You and me
sex is not a competition
For you and me,
sex is not a job description
For you and me
We agree
You and I, we are pressed
into these solitudes
Colour 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
Reaching for the alien shore
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,
sex is not a competition
For you and me,
race is not a definition
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
That's just us
Reaching for the alien shore
That's just us
Reaching for the alien shore
That's just us
Reaching for the alien shore
