Hands Of Hate

Intro: x2 verse 1 Oh, Misses Shepard I heard about your son He was filled with glory until Hate's gun and he cried at that fence like a scarecrow afraid as those boys, beat him dry with the hands of hate Interlude verse 2 And Lawrence King never saw 9th grade Before that bullet was forced into his brain By a bully, a madman A classmate of rage Just at 15, young Larry Was sent to his grave And we join together in the arms of faith Can we join together and learn not to hate? And we join together in the arms of faith Can we join together and be one human race Instrumental verse 3 Our friend Tyler was forced off of a bridge After his roommates filmed and outed him Making love to another The same sex as him And the only sin that God saw Was the roommates killing him Interlude verse 4 Poor old Jamey always smiled and thrived But as the slurs went on, he couldn’t stay alive And he took his own life On a cold september night And the bullies admitted That they wanted him to die And we join together in the arms of faith Can we join together and learn not to hate? And we join together in the arms of faith Can we join together and be one human race Bridge And did you think about how his mama would cry? When she was forced with goodbye? Did you think about his papa when he died? How will they survive? And we join together in the arms of faith Can we join together and learn not to hate? And we join together in the arms of faith Can we join together and be one human race Verse 5 Oh, Misses Shepard I heard about your son He was filled with glory until Hate's gun and he cried at that fence like a scarecrow afraid as those boys, beat him dry with the hands of hate
