 I don't believe in unity
It's  just one more  abandoned dream
Once  the people get together,  it's easy  to see
It's  just a matter of time  before they come  after me
But  it must be pretty cool  to be you
 With your brothers  at your back, protecting  you
It  must be pretty cool  to know you belong
Isolated my  whole life
 Counting scars  in the land ..............
Yes,  I'm envious,  it's true
 But it must  be cool to be you
 Repeat Verse:
 You got a loving family
 To give you everything you need
 My family loves each other so much
 We live a thousand miles away and stay in touch
 Repeat Chorus
 It must be pretty cool to be you
 With a home and a family to go home to
 It must be pretty cool to know you belong
 Isolated my whole life
 Counting scars in the land ..............
 Yes, I'm envious, it's true
 But it must be cool to be you
 What should I do?
 I know  this bitter jealousy  is wrong
 Maybe I'll move  and find  a brand new place  I don't belong
Some  friends I'll never  know
New  places I  can't go
'Cause  everywhere I've been  is on the outside  looking in
 Repeat Verse
 You've got a deep, sustaining faith
 A Lord who listens when you pray
 I was raised in a church and I was told to believe
 I wonder if God believes in me
 Repeat Chorus
 It must be pretty cool to be you
 With your holy faith sustaining you
 It must be pretty cool to know you belong
 Isolated my whole life
 Counting scars in the land ..............
 Yes, I'm envious, it's true
 But it must be cool to be you.
