[00:02.75]
[00:04.56]As I raise my head to broadcast my objection
[00:12.88]As your latest triumph draws the final straw
[00:21.18]Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
[00:29.52]And what silenced me is written into law.
[00:38.13]I can’t believe where circumstance has thrown me
[00:42.25]And I turn my head away
[00:46.72]If I look I’m not sure that I could face you.
[00:51.11]Not again. not today. not today.
[01:00.26]If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
[01:08.45]And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
[01:16.73]There’s a hurt down deep that has not been corrected.
[01:25.05]There’s a voice in me that says you will not win.
[01:33.84]And if I ignore the voice inside,
[01:38.17]Raise a half glass to my home.
[01:42.43]But it’s there that I am most afraid,
[01:47.01]And forgetting doesn’t hold. it doesn’t hold.
[01:55.81]Now I don’t believe and I never did
[01:58.12]That two wrongs make a right.
[02:00.37]If the world were filled with the likes of you
[02:02.58]Then I’m putting up a fight. I’m putting up a fight.
[02:06.56]Putting up a fight. make it right. make it right.
[02:18.10]Now love cannot be called into question.
[02:26.39]Forgiveness is the only hope I hold.
[02:34.74]And love- love will be my strongest weapon.
[02:43.14]I do believe that I am not alone.
[02:51.18]For this fear will not destroy me.
[02:55.68]And the tears that have been shed
[03:00.34]It’s knowing now where I am weakest
[03:04.55]And the voice in my head. in my head.
[03:13.57]Then I raise my voice up higher
[03:18.01]And I look you in the eye
[03:22.52]And I offer love with one condition.
[03:26.81]With conviction, tell me why.
[03:31.05][03:35.64][03:39.88]Tell me why.
[03:37.74]Look me in the eye.
