Let Me Love
You say my skin is the wrong colour
That I am from the wrong creed
You say my race is evil
You hate that we've been free'd.
But does life seem that free to you
When I'm surrounded by your walls
My brother killed by your anger
Your guns caused him to fall?
I say our skin is the right colour
If we were stood up strong
Come; let me wash your feet
Let us prove them wrong.

You said my daughter was abnormal
That she never quite fit in
Bit of a swot and geeky
And in the end she let you 'win'.
But I have a question on my heart
My daughter took her own life
Was 'winning' really worth it
When it caused us all more strife?
I say that we all lost really
But if we stood up strong
We could stop the emptyness
We could prove them wrong.

You always used to hit me
You said I was no good
The bruises on my body hurt
But not like your words could.
I only tried to please you mummy
I tried and tried, I did
Instead you left me on a doorstep
Since then, from me you've hid.
I thought we both were bad then
But now I stand up strong
I still will always love you Mum
And I will prove them wrong.
-
You all say we are different
That we can never live together
You say the world is evil
There will never be peace - never.
That's never seemed quite right to me
When I'm surrounded by it all
Hatred, rape and murder
There is always love an'all.
Well JESUS came to save mankind
So that we can stand up strong
Join our hearts together
And prove the evil wrong.
-
So brothers, sisters; let me serve you
Let me love with all my heart
Only GOD can grant forgiveness
But I can make a start.
