There are things more important than politics. They're called people.
(vs. 1)
who's your brother, who's your sister
you just walked passed him
i think you missed her
as we're all migrating to the place where our father lives
'cause we married in to a family of immigrants
(chorus)
my first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man
my first allegiance is not to democracy or blood
it's to a king & a kingdom
(vs. 2)
there are two great lies that i've heard:
“the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely dieâ€
and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican
and if you wanna be saved you have to learn to be like Him
(chorus)
(bridge)
but nothing unifies like a common enemy
and we've got one, sure as hell
but he may be living in your house
he may be raising up your kids
he may be sleeping with your wife
oh no, he may not look like you think

your blog is silly
Noelle, I love this song and all of Derek Webb's work. And I miss hearing your sage words like I was privileged to four years ago in high school. Although I do NOT miss high school... :) Happy Christmas Break!
