A Child Is an Open Book Lyrics

We're all born without hate
We're all born without hate

A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up

We're all born without hate
We're all born without hate

I took a breath and in it were the screams
Of every grieving mother and daughter
The heaving of the water thick with oil, dreaming of the prisoner
Staring at the walls and imagining the kisses of her son

And I was sickened by the fumes, the cities on its knees
Blood dripping from the teeth of the kids who walk the streets
The junkie with the baby in her womb
Numb beneath the stranger in her room

But then I took a step and with it I walked past
The feeling there's nothing I can do to help or grasp with any certainty
Life is ours to take care of, you can't love what you're scared of
And love is the key, I took another breath and with it I was sure

No matter what's to come or what has been before
We have the right now, the right here to make peace with
No hidden truths, no secrets, we have all the answers already
We were born without hate, eyes wide, hearts heavy
Skies full of lightning, tonight the clouds bellies are purple
And ready to rain, what's pleasure to the man who has never known pain

We're all born without hate
We're all born without hate

We were born without any bitter blood
If you hold the hand of hatred you reject the hand of love
We were born without any bitter blood
If you hold the hand of hatred you reject the hand of love

A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up

We're all born without hate
We're all born without hate

A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
A child is an open book
So please people, don't mess them up
