An Original song of mine written with the idea of trying to explain the concept of Hate to my little boy.
Starts off with birth and ends with him leaving home to go out into the world.
When you were born you didn’t know how to hate
Came into the world an innocent soul with a clean slate
As you grew up then you looked around the schoolyard
Went to make some new friends but they called you ugly names and hit you hard
You came to me tears rolling down your face
Broke my heart to tell you that they’ve already learned to hate
So as you walk through life remember to avoid
People who hate their fellow man and are looking to destroy
CHORUS:
Just because someone else hates you...doesn’t mean...you need to feel the hatred too
We might just end up saving the world
But it starts with you my friend...and all our little boys and girls
Put aside your differences....and preconceived beliefs
Believe in Love then we can all...start living in Peace
You asked me “daddy how did the world ended up this way?”
All I can hope for is when you grow up you’ll be OK
So never be afraid to stand for peace and love
Don’t let fear take over……learn to rise above
Stay away from people who always believe they’re right
They’re only really looking to start a fight
And religious extremists on both sides would have you believe like them or go away or die
CHORUS
Beware of corporate media news…..reports on war
They’ll treat it like a sports game and just keep score
They’ll give it some ridiculous name and hype it for prime time
Gotta keep the sponsors happy and meet the bottom line
Don’t even bother anymore to tell the people what’s wrong
The days of good night and good luck are now long gone
So take these lessons you've learned and pass them on
Go out in the world and sing your song
CHORUS
