Song Lyrics

People love you the most for the things you hate.
And hate you for loving the things you can't keep straight.
People judge you on a curve
And tell you you're getting what you deserve
And this too shall be made right.

Children cannot learn, when children cannot eat
Stack them like lumber when children cannot sleep
Children dream of wishing wells,
Who's waters quench all the fires of hell
And this too shall be made right.

The earth and the sky and the sea are all holding their breath
Wars and abuses have nature growing with death
You say we're just trying to stay alive
It looks so much more like a way to die.
And this too shall be made right.

Yes there's a time for peace, there is a time for war
There's a time to forgive and a time to settle the score
A time for babies to lose their lives
A time for hunger and genocide.
And this too shall be made right.

Oh I don't know the sufferings of people outside my front door.
And I join the oppressors of those I choose to ignore.
I'm trading comfort for human life
And that's not just murder, it's suicide.
And this too shall be made right.

O this too shall be made right.
