I think I need a new perspective    Cuz the things I once protected    Do not serve me anymore    But in my heart I have found something    That is keeping me from running    In a straight line out the door       If you and I ran parallel    You know that I’d be right there with you    If you and I ran parallel    I guess we would be running forever       I think I need a new beginning    Cuz the villains keep on winning    In the movie of my life    But in my heart, I know there’s something    That is keeping me from running    Down the clearest path in sight       If you and I ran parallel    You know that I’d be right there with you    If you and I ran parallel    I guess we would be running forever          If you and I ran parallel    Then you and I’d know how to tell    Loud guitars from ringing bells    Promises from wishing wells       Cuz you and I    Could conquer their hatred and    You and I    Can overcome their dissidence    But you and I    Do not see eye to eye so I    Now walk in my own line, but       If you and I ran parallel    You know that I’d be right there with you    If you and I ran parallel    I guess we would be running forever
