Islam and Christianity
Politicians debate
Extremists fuel a cause
Well you are all wrong
You sold out your humanity
To be a good person is not in scripture
It isn't in any dogma
Believe that and your lost
It is in our hearts
It's how a parent teaches
What a parent teaches
Teach any child a religion
They have a faith
The majority will follow it
Teach your children bigotry
The majority will follow that too
Teach them to love
Teach them to care
Teach them to aid
Then regardless of their faith
They will teach the same
They will see humanity
Morals are not a faith
But a faith can support morality
As to it can bolster hate
So don't tell me your a Christian
Don't quote Muhammad
I don't care if your agnostic
Just teach your children well
The future is all they have
Don't condemn them to our past
Our mistakes
Act now as time is not on our side
Act now and create a proud nation
A nation of all faiths united in love
