[Verse 1]
If you feel you want to fight me
There's a chain around your mind
Something holding you tightly
What is real is so hard to find
Losing babies to genocide
Oh, where's the meaning in that plight
Can't you see that we've really bought into
Every word they proclaimed and every lie, oh

[Chorus]
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts

[Verse 2]
Someone's feeding on your anger
Someone's been whispering in your ear
You've seen his face before
You've been played before
These aren't the words you need to hear
Through the dawn of darkness blindly
You have blood upon your hands
All the world will treat you kindly
But only the heart can understand, oh understand

[Chorus]
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears
Swallow your tears
And look to your heart
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears
Swallow your tears
And look to your heart

[Bridge]
Oh, let them go
Let them be
Let them go

[Verse 3]
Every man is his own prophet
Oh, every prophet just a man
I say all the women stand up
Say yes to themselves
Teach your children best you can
Let every man bow to the best in himself
We're not killing anymore
We're the wisest ones, everybody listen
'Cause you can't fight this feeling any more, oh anymore

[Chorus]
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears
Swallow your tears
And look to your heart
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears
Swallow your tears
And look to your heart

If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears
Swallow your tears
And look to your heart
If we could only get out of our heads
Out of our heads
And into our hearts
Children of Abraham lay down your fears
Swallow your tears
And look to your heart, oh
