Don't try to make me the enemy
just because I don't believe
exactly as you do
and don't try make me out to be
some kind of God-forsaken heathen
Cause I'm not a Christian, a Muslim, or a Jew
don't wanna be in the world of black or white
I'm either wrong or you're right
It's just pass or fail
Where were all pawns, in a chess game
between a heaven and a hell
Why can't it be enough just to love?
to learn and grow and understand
to come together for the betterment of man
giving just for the sake of, helping someone else
Why can't love just be enough?
All the hypocrisies, the unanswered questions
The mistranslations, misunderstanding, denominations
Can't you see why I had to leave it all behind?
but most of all I would Judge others because anything different, I thought,
was just evil, and didn't even think of myself as in the wrong.
Trying to convince others of a love that I knew
didn't make sense at all
cause I was afraid of burning for eternity cause of my sins
that was someone else's fault.
Why can't it be enough just to love
to learn and grow and understand
to come together for the betterment of man
forgiving just because we know no ones flawless
we all must learn to love
Why can't love just be enough?
Love is patient, and kind, it's not jealous, and forgiving,
not keeping record of your wrongs,
why am I feeling like somethings missing
When A Jew and Muslim or a Christian says
God is Love
I have had enough of fooling myself
Why can't it be enough just to love
(I don't wanna be in the world of black or white)
to learn and grow and understand
(their either wrong or I right)
to come together for the betterment of man
(It's just pass or fail)
giving just for the sake of helping someone else
(Where were all pawns in a chess game)
(between a heaven and a hell)
Why can't love just be enough?
