I’ve had this song in my head now for quite a while. The lyrics are some of my favourite ever, especially the second verse. Watch the song, read the lyrics and see what you think. The band are All Together Separate, which is kinda funny as they’re no longer together. I believe this song came out in 1994.

Everybody loves a rose,
but will you be thankful for the thorns?
Love is easy when you’re loved,
but do you curse another when you’re alone?

Chorus:
Oh, I give my life to You
so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid
while the paradigm is shifting

You say live and let live,
but people are dying everyday
And you say what I don’t know won’t hurt me,
but if what I do not know is the very thing I need,
then I say…

Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane
That blocks the view, and plants the seed
So we draw the curtains to close but I say
That the sun can still shine behind a closed mind
And sticks and stones do hurt when tossed from the tongue of mankind

All Together Separate - Paradigm
