LaurJ -

I love your comments re: "It is so easy to blame others" hence the use of 'we' vs. 'they' - in my mind, saying 'we' and accepting ownership for the human failings described in the song, also gives hope for partcipating in their resolve.

Saying 'we' as opposed to 'they' strengthens the message of the song.
