Distance Distorts
Twinkle twinkle little star
Oh how mighty you truly are
But distance distorts
And for this effect, wars are fought

Giant appears small
Bright appears dull
And Friends as enemies
That one worst of all

We need only move closer to see an object's true form
But we let ignorance drive our thoughts
As fear plants our feet
These roots go deep, still burrowing in the dirt

And so we fight against ideas and people who
Had we just moved a little closer
We might've thought were cool
People who might be just like you

Distance distorts
And Should you move closer
You might be surprised to learn by just how much
Distance distorts
