I'm not one for sentiments But there is love and possibility So much hatred in the world Why not give kindness a shot If I am going to be free Free from all kinds of oppressions I have to give up the selfishness That I am smarter than life I have gone insane from theologies And religion hasn't saved my soul The past is exactly what it is Can I ever go back? No. I've taken hard knocks to know Only what experience has taught me There's only one thing I need to know Life's a ***** no point in it Can't I just accept there are possibilities That are beyond my puny mind of mine Things that can't be seen but are there I can't see love but I can feel it It's in the air and the smell is sweet Why should I let there be peace? It's because I haven't got the energy To hate just one more day

Not One For Sentiments
I'm not one for sentiments But there is love and possibility So much hatred in the world Why not give kindness a shot If I am going to be free Free from all kinds of oppressions I have to give up the selfishness That I am smarter than life I have gone insane from theologies And religion hasn't saved my soul The past is exactly what it is Can I ever go back? No. I've taken hard knocks to know Only what experience has taught me There's only one thing I need to know Life's a ***** no point in it Can't I just accept there are possibilities That are beyond my puny mind of mine Things that can't be seen but are there I can't see love but I can feel it It's in the air and the smell is sweet Why should I let there be peace? It's because I haven't got the energy To hate just one more day
