Equals lyrics

So you sent me on my way And I came upon the strangest people All of them with worn-out reasons And they persuaded me to stay And they persuaded me to share myself I came so far, I came to learn And they told me of my isolation Gave me gifts that had no value And I returned all I possessed And then they showed me how to give myself All men are my equals now I see myself in everyone And everyone can see themselves in me And I can show you how to lose yourself Now left alone, I lose control I find myself without protection In my weakness you support me For should one fall, so will we all And then they showed me how to save myself for them
