Hatred Has A Mother

When you find good people
I sing for the river
When you find good people
A need for the giver
When you find good people
A wound at the trigger
An époque for the gun

When you find good people
A victim for the pen
When you find good people
A villain for the hymn
When you find good people
There's hands to make good men
Out of our wayward sons

Come join the revolutionary love

Ooh, listen up
Ooh, give your mirror love
Ooh, listen up
Ooh

When I find that people
Are pebbles in my boot
I think they’re just bad apples
But there's ground for every shoot
I give these big bad actors
The tongue in my oyster
The pebble in my pearl

I watch these big bad actors
And suspend disbelief
I watch them birthed and turned from
Children into thieves
I keep a watch and I wonder
How my very own tongue
Has made the bankrupt world

Come join the revolutionary

Mother to mother
Hatred has a mother
Naming the other
Nature loves a mirror
Other'd by others
Mirroring the mirror
Give to your mirror
Revolutionary love

Ooh, listen up
Ooh, give your mirror love
Ooh, listen up
Ooh

We are broken people
We fall and break the Earth
So the deal was written
And contracted at birth
And If I'm to be worthy
Of mending any hurt
I must tend my wounds first

So hey man where do you come from?
What neighborhood did you grow up in?
The hateful way that was taught to you
Can be unlearned too
There is salmon in the river
And a line for you

Come join the revolutionary

Mother to mother
Hatred has a mother
Naming the other
Nature loves a mirror
Other'd by others
Mirroring the mirror
Give to your mirror

Mother to mother
Hatred has a mother
Naming the other
Nature loves a mirror
Other'd by others
Mirroring the mirror
Give to your mirror
Revolutionary love
