What He Means

if there is grace in this world
if there is life on this earth
let us use it
let us see it
starting right now

can we be down with ourselves
respectful and mindful of one, of one another
your significant other, your sister, your brother

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope, trust in the same name of god
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope, trust in the same god in whose name we die for
take an innocent life for
that's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read

is there a leaf, a prayer
cause judging and hearing your way
a weight on our minds to bear
a shame on our heads to wear

where is salvation in love
now that we have what we want
now that we have our world

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope, trust in the same god in whose name we die for
take an innocent life for
that's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read

with a little bit of peace and a little bit of calm
acceptance is the key to all we know
what about a stir of compassion and lenience
what about some understanding
what about some sympathy

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope, trust in the same god in whose name we die for
take an innocent life forthat's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read

freedom, kindness, warmth, deliverance
comfort, mostly redemption, redemption

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope, trust in the same god in whose name we die for
take an innocent life forthat's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
