lyrics

Your ignorant factions don’t speak for me
Your knee-jerk reactions don’t speak for me
My anger is real but i’ll rise above
Conquer hate with love

Who abandons their own who turns their back
When they’re running for their lives from the very same attack
My fear is very real but i’ll rise above
Conquer hate with love

Do you agree with what’s convenient to keep you alive?
Do you barricade your heart simply to survive?
Greater is the one who is willing to live by another’s happiness
To sacrifice what bit they may have to give

Here’s to you who teach your babies what it means to be
On the side of hope on the side of empathy
Send them forward with a gentle shove
To conquer hate with love
