We see tragedy and we’re so quick to decide
Our eyes see one thing and they believe all the lies
Recommended for you
The truth is hidden, put in disguise
Because we side so quickly with those who look like us
Foolishly thinking those are the only ones we can trust
This is why there are no answers, no change
We’re drawing lines, creating a divide
If we want love and hope
Then we need to stop tightening the rope
That chokes all of us in this façade
What we need isn’t just change but God
We need to remember we’re all created the same
The color red flowing through our veins
We don’t judge the flowers for being different hues
From red to pink to white to blue
If we can appreciate the beauty that lies in life,
Then why are we so quick to decide to
Hate each other and judge our brother.
Instead of love we see,
Eyes looking for answers not found in this place
Hands reaching out searching, longing, praying for change
Now is not the time to point fingers and create blame
No now is the time to remember we’re all the same
The pain you feel now is the pain I feel too
So listen to your heart and follow its cues
Because if we don’t start loving each other now,
We’re all going to drown and there will be no way out
We’ll lose the fight against lies and hate
And I really don’t wish that to be the world’s fate
I know it’s hard because we’re all covered in sin
But where hate ends is where love begins
