Jackie Manning - The Hate Song Lyrics

Why are we bathed in all of this hate, and regret?
How can you make an enemy of someone you just met?
You're ready to cast your stones and beat them down with words
I've seen it, I've heard it, I've lived it, when will we ever learn?

This is no way for us to behave
Because we all make mistakes
How would the world be if we forgave?
Is it too late, are we preconditioned to hate?
I see that hateful look in your eye, as I walk by
You've already judged me and you don't know, the reason why
I am who I am, I don't give a damn just what you think
It's classic to have the strong prey on the weak, but that is not me

And
This is no way for us to behave
Because we all make mistakes
How would the world be if we forgave?
Is it too late, are we preconditioned to hate?

How would you feel inside if you took my life for a ride?
Because we all make mistakes, it's what makes us the same in God's eyes
What if we lived to forgive? Would we change, or stay the same?

And
This is no way for us to behave
Because we all make mistakes
How would the world be if we forgave?
