Jim Kroft - Not in My Name Lyrics

One in four children, living in this world, live in doubt & pain, are living day to day
Don't you have no shame, or see that it ain't right, don't you feel at all, can't you hear tonight?

What if love could be - not of I but us - simple as it seems, still we seem to crush,
Dreams which are in flames, does your spirit wane, weighed down by the chains, battered by the rain.

Oh you're giving me nothing but reasons, I can't seem hear, dealing in nothing but hatred, I don't share your fear

Telling me words don't matter, truth is on the wane, I don't buy your bullshit ,
You Do Not Speak In My Name

I am of the earth, I am of the streams, I am from my birth, living for the dream
Of a better world, for the blood lit sky, for the blazing sun, burning in my eyes

Oh you're giving me nothing but reasons, I can't seem hear, dealing in nothing hatred, I don't share your fear -

Telling me words don't matter, Truth is on the wane, I don't buy your bullshit
You Do Not Speak In My Name

I can see your heart, weary in the gloom, battling with the dark, like a crescent moon,
Are you gonna fade, or are you gonna rise, are you with the change, are you with the tide?

Oh you're giving me nothing but reasons, I can't seem hear, dealing in nothin hatred, I don't share your fear -

Telling me words don't matter, Truth is on the wane, I don't buy your bullshit
You Do Not Speak In My Name

What if love could be not of I but us,
Yes I've made my choice, yes I still choose love
