The Echo Chamber - Redemption

When you hear a voice in marked opposition

You and others like you demonize the speaker in derision

You surround yourself with thinkers of your kind

Never challenging your view or opening your mind

You’re polarized and blinded

There was a time when we might speak

And seek the common ground

That dialogue now lost to us

The distance too profound

When your vision is not what I want to see

When the words you speak are challenging or threatening to me

I can close myself away in this cocoon

Reinforced by others not reflecting on our view

We’re polarized and blinded

There was a time when we might speak

And seek the common ground

That dialogue now lost to us

The distance too profound

We’re polarized

We’ve deepened this divide

We’re out of reach and blinded

(x2) There was a time when we’d engage

And seek the common ground

That dialogue now lost to us

The distance too profound
