I don’t understand why there is so much hate
And I realize I’m saying this all too late
For lives have been lost
Both sides paid the cost
In a war without cause
There will be no win, only loss
Unless we act soon there’s no time to delay
For how many more will be taken this day?
Lives without reason, being taken in the streets
Lives where the last thing they feel is the heat
Of a man dressed in blue, sworn to protect
But this oath has been broken, and he feels no regret
Not all, however, have lost their way
And some are even helping, still to this day.
But this war is not one-sided, can you not see?
What’s the price that you’ll pay for your false liberty?
“Our lives matter” you parade through the city
But you’ll take a life without any pity
Can you not see that all lives are equal?
Not just the lives of you and your people.
This war needs to end or more people will die
With no time to spare to grief or to cry.
Only hate in our hearts
And only hate in our streets
But hate tears apart
Only Love will bring peace.
Love can’t you see will make it all better?
The Love that God shares to us all in His letter
Tells us that all should be treated equal
For all of us, every color, are His people
So no more hate, and no more death
It's time for us all to choose the path that is best
To love like he loved us for he loved us first
For right now it seems like we need it the worst
Love is what we need and when that's what we see
All the death will be over and we’ll join eternity.
