You were that shimmering bright swirling color
Wearing that peace sign holding hands with your mother
Learning how everyone's just sister and brother
You thought how could anyone hurt one another
But that all changed when they wrote fag on your locker
And you turned around to wrestle the monsters
They just said to blame it all on your father
Or to think of your mother just as somebody's daughter
Your grandpa her dad that cowboy man
He's standing up tall looking out on the ranch
He's wrestled the bull with total control
And you just thought you could learn how to dance
You were the cowboy off on your lonesome
While I was the spaceman so tired of my boredom
Caught in this crossfire of conflicting emotions
Thinking that this just isn't gonna happen
But you're still that drifter and I'm still your lover
And we are still brothers born from two separate mothers
We are two shades of the same color
You are the sky and I am the water
I am the water
I am just water
