I have come to give you life
And to show you how to live it
I have come to make things right
To heal their ears and show you how to forgive them
Because I would rather die
I would rather die
I would rather die
Than to take your life
How can I kill the ones I'm supposed to love
My enemies are men like me
I will protest the sword if it's not wielded well
My enemies are men like me
Peace by way of war
Is like purity by way of fornication
It's like telling someone murder is wrong
And then showing them by way of execution
When justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war
The ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor
