Once was this ball with a line straight down the middle
One side was black and the other one white
And they both understood so little
That they spent their whole lives tryin' to tell each other what time it was
And all along it did not matter what either said
Because, because

You only know what you know
You only see what your heart will show
You only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end that's where we'll go
So let's go

There once was a golden idol that went to the winners
Needless to say, it didn't make 'em feel any less a sinner
Cause the very next mornin' the whole damn world was the same
Yes it was
The idol's still shinin' but the voice inside it said,
"There ain't no winners in this game"

You only know what you know
You only see what your heart will show
You only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end that's where we'll go
So let's go

There once was an angel
Who most certainly watched over me
But if it got me through the day
Is it crazy?
Yeah, I'll be crazy

Until the demons fall as far as anyone can fall
When they reap what they done sowed, I'll be standin' tall
We spend our whole lives tryin' to dog the other man
When what we need to do is try to give him all we can

But, uh, you only know what you know
And, uh, you only see what your heart'll show
And, uh, you only love when your soul remembers
We all come from the same December
And in the end that's where we'll go
So let's go

Let's go
Let's go!
