Sometimes it′s easier to jump to conclusions

Than walk across the street

It's like I′d rather fill the blanks with illusionsThan take the time to see

You are tryna close the back door of your car

You are balancing the groceries and a baby in your arms

You are more than just a sign in your front yard

You are my neighbor

I can get so lost in the mission

Of defending what I think

I've been surfing on a sea of opinions

But just behind the screen

You are grateful that the work day's finally done

You are stuck in miles of traffic, looking at your phone

You are tryin′ to feel a little less alone

You are my neighbor

When the chasm between us feels so wide

That it′s hard to imagine the other side

But we don't have to see things eye to eye

For me to love you like you are my neighbor

My neighbor

Oh, to fear the unfamiliar

Is the easy way to go

But I believe we are connected more than we might ever know

There′s a light that shines on both the rich and poor

Looks beyond where we came from and who we voted for

'Til I can′t see a stranger anymore

I see my neighbor

May my heart be an open door to my neighbor

You are my neighbor
