Gm
At the crossroad, there's a street sign
It’s a construct, how'd it get in my mind?
It's a door to the divine
It’s a fine line in the end times

Gm
I'll be yours (I'll be yours)
Cm                Gm          F
You can be mine (You can be mine)
Gm
Love unites (Love unites
F
Breaking as the light divides into
                  D# 
the color of your eyes

I'll be your race and religion

You be my race and religion

United body and soul (Hey)

   Race and religion (Race and religion)

It's joy and it's union
Your sense of rhythm
How you take communion
It's a door to the divine
It's the moonlight on a landmine

I'll be yours (I’ll be yours)
You can be mine (You can be mine)
Love unites
Breaking as the light divides into
the color of your eyes

I’ll be your race and religion
You be my race and religion
This love is no competition
United body and soul

     Gm      F              D#            Cm
The light arrives from the past hits your eyes
             Gm         F
Before it divides into colors,
        D#          Cm
you and me could be we
         Gm          F
Could be we are the light you can't see
    D#         Gm
And we are the roots of the tree
     Gm                     F
And we’ve got one life, no time for division
       D#          Cm
New vision, be my race and religion

Race and religion (Race and religion)
Race and religion
Race and religion (Race and religion)

Hey
I'll be your race and religion
You could be my body and soul (Body and soul)
I'll be your race and religion
You could be my body and soul (Body and soul)
I'll be your race and religion
You could be my body and soul
