A s I raise my head to broad cast my objectio n
As your latest triumph draw s the final straw
Who died and lifted yo u up to perf ection?
And what silenced me is written into law.
I can't believe where circumstance has thr own me
And I t urn my head awa y
If I lo ok I'm not sure that I could f ace you.
Not aga in. Not tod ay. Not toda y.
I f hatred makes a play on me tomorro w
And forgiveness takes a ba ck seat to reve nge
There's a hurt down deep that ha s not been corre cted
There's a voice in me that says yo u will not win.
And if I ignore the voi ce inside
Rai se a half glass to my ho me.
Bu t it's there that I am most afraid
And forgettin g doesn't hol d. it doesn't ho ld.
N ow I don't believe and I never did
That tw o wrongs make a right.
If the wor ld were filled with the likes of you
Then I'm p utting up a fight. I'm putting up a fi ght.
Putting up a fi ght. make it righ t. make it rig ht.
Now lov e cannot be ca lled into question.
Forgiveness is the on ly hope I hold.
And love love wi ll be my strongest we apon.
I do believe that I am not alone.
For this fe ar will not destroy m e.
And the tea rs that have been sh ed
It's kno wing now where I am w eakest
And the vo ice in my he ad. in my hea d.
Then I ra ise my voice up hig her
And I loo k you in the e ye
And I of fer love with one cond ition.
With con viction tell me wh y.
Tell me w hy.
Tell me w hy.
Look me in the ey e.
Tell me w hy.
