A Child Is an Open Book |
| We’re all born without hate |
| We’re all born without hate |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| We’re all born without hate |
| We’re all born without hate |
| I took a breath and in it were the screams |
| Of every grieving mother and daughter |
| The heaving of the water thick with oil, dreaming of the prisoner |
| Staring at the walls and imagining the kisses of her son |
| And I was sickened by the fumes, the cities on its knees |
| Blood dripping from the teeth of the kids who walk the streets |
| The junkie with the baby in her womb |
| Numb beneath the stranger in her room |
| But then I took a step and with it I walked past |
| The feeling there’s nothing I can do to help or grasp with any certainty |
| Life is ours to take care of, you can’t love what you’re scared of |
| And love is the key, I took another breath and with it I was sure |
| No matter what’s to come or what has been before |
| We have the right now, the right here to make peace with |
| No hidden truths, no secrets, we have all the answers already |
| We were born without hate, eyes wide, hearts heavy |
| Skies full of lightning, tonight the clouds bellies are purple |
| And ready to rain, what’s pleasure to the man who has never known pain |
| We’re all born without hate |
| We’re all born without hate |
| We were born without any bitter blood |
| If you hold the hand of hatred you reject the hand of love |
| We were born without any bitter blood |
| If you hold the hand of hatred you reject the hand of love |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| We’re all born without hate |
| We’re all born without hate |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
| A child is an open book |
| So please people, don’t mess them up |
