Why can't Love just be enough?

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?
