I choose to follow a religion of love
One in which liturgy is drawn from and inspired by
The desire to relate to all as one
The lines of belief aren't designed to divide
But to rather bring the nations to us
To those who stand to defend all
In a way to emphasize
A manner in which to call
All those who fall
Part of the body
And the care which follows
Service to oneself
For when we see humanity as a whole
Then terms like us or them become futile
And wars become the counterproductive pursuit
Of one hand fighting another
The care of wounds and weaknesses
Is the responsibility of those healthy enough to see
The disease seizing our bones
For attacks against one is an attack on us all
So I choose to follow a religion of love
For it is in this pursuit only that the world is capable of equality
And bringing us together as one
