The Potential of the Species / El potencial de las especies / Il potenziale della specie



You cannot stand above someone
And love someone
Nor can you stand below them
And know them
For one is clueless condescension
The other supplicant adoration
And neither with true vision
Of any realistic situation

Eye to eye
We were made to stand
An eye for every eye
A hand for every hand
It is how we grow and thrive
Unite, move forward, make plans
But now we try
And do without it
And wonder why 
A great divide
Has torn apart our land

What do you want them
To say about you?
That you won every fight?
King or queen of this zoo?
Do you need to be right?
Need everyone to agree too?
Will you wield tools
Of sarcastic abuse
Against those safe out of sight
With zealous, sadistic delight?

Or maybe the opinions of others
Do not fill you with fear
Maybe you see them as sisters and brothers
Maybe you see them a bit more clear
When you are secure in what you believe
You will not attack the beliefs of another
You understand we can only achieve
The potential of our species
When we smother our foolish pride
Walk together, stride for stride
We can be different
And yet together
Mighty and fervent
In love forever



No puedes estar por encima de alguien
Y amar a alguien
Tampoco puedes estar por debajo de ellos
Y los conozco
Para uno es la condescendencia despistada
La otra adoración supplicant
Y ni con visión verdadera
De cualquier situación realista

Ojo a ojo
Nos hicieron soportar
Un ojo para cada ojo
Una mano para cada mano
Es cómo crecemos y prosperamos
Unir, avanzar, hacer planes
Pero ahora lo intentamos
Y hazlo sin él
Y pregunto por qué
Una gran división
Ha desgarrado nuestra tierra

Que quieren
A decir de ti
¿Que ganó cada pelea?
Rey o reina de este zoológico?
¿Necesitas estar en lo cierto?
¿Necesita que todos estén de acuerdo también?
¿Manejarás las herramientas
Del abuso sarcástico
En contra de aquellos seguros fuera de la vista
¿Con celo, sádico placer?

O tal vez las opiniones de otros
No te llenes de miedo
Tal vez usted los ve como hermanas y hermanos
Tal vez los veas un poco más claros
Cuando estés seguro en lo que crees
No atacarás las creencias de otro
Usted entiende que sólo podemos lograr
El potencial de nuestra especie
Cuando sofocamos nuestro estúpido orgullo
Caminar juntos, zancadas
Podemos ser diferentes
Y sin embargo, juntos
Poderoso y ferviente
Enamorado por siempre



Non si può stare al di sopra qualcuno
E amare qualcuno
Né si può stare sotto di loro
E li conosco
Per uno è condiscendenza all'oscuro
L'altra adorazione supplice
E nemmeno con vera visione
Di qualsiasi situazione realistica

Occhio per occhio
Ci hanno fatto stare in piedi
Occhio per ogni occhio
Una mano per ogni mano
E 'il modo in cui crescere e prosperare
Unite, andare avanti, fare progetti
Ma ora cerchiamo
E farne a meno
E mi chiedo perché
Un grande divario
Ha fatto a pezzi la nostra terra

Cosa vuoi di loro
Per dire di te?
Che hai vinto ogni combattimento?
Re o la regina di questo zoo?
Avete bisogno di essere di destra?
Hai bisogno di tutti di essere d'accordo anche tu?
Vuoi maneggiare strumenti
Di abuso sarcastico
Contro coloro sicuro fuori dalla vista
Con zelo, gioia sadica?

O forse le opinioni degli altri
Non ti riempia di paura
Forse si vede loro come fratelli e sorelle
Forse li si vede un po 'più chiaro
Quando si è sicuri di ciò che si crede
Non sarà attaccare le credenze di un altro
Lei capisce che possiamo raggiungere solo
Il potenziale della nostra specie
Quando abbiamo soffochiamo il nostro orgoglio insensato
Camminare insieme, passo per passo
Possiamo essere diversi
Eppure insieme
Mighty e fervente
In amore per sempre
