Antithetical Lyrics

All my life till now you've taught me right from wrong

And showed me what beauty was by your example

But now you've come to sing an unfamiliar song

Praising one who seems to me just like the devil

The impasse is perilous and threatens to severe us

But all I want is to tell you what I see and have you do the same for me in love and trust

And strengthen the bond connecting us as family

Sometimes a man can stand for standards he can't match

And we all have been found guilty of that failing

But woe to anyone who calls a good thing bad

Or a bad thing good and that's what I've been hearing

And we're bound to divide if we only see one side

But all I want is to make you face your fear of others

And see them as sisters and brothers now

Resisting calls to fear and doubt lets work it out

I'm not playing for the opposition

You've got to move beyond your tribalism

Rejecting hate and greed

And reclaiming our creed of love forgiving sin and grace for everyone that's it

That's all I want and I'm not saying I'm any better

I'm still standing with you even now

(All I want)

Cause it's not hate but love that we're about

(All I want)

If we're children of one God let's work this out

(All I want)
