A Dark Design

Not a vision, not a golden rule
Will keep us from the truth
Not a whisper from a high, high throne
Will keep me from telling you
That I'm a lover, I believe you are too
We're fighting for a common good
And if you love me, then say you do
Odds and ends will end where they should

Oh, there is not a God in heaven
that wants to see us fighting this way
Oh, He spoke more about loving
than people trying to make people change

Speak your favor as I speak my mind
Who am I to try to take that away?
There is a light that is shining from a dark design
And the beauty is that we can change
How can we love ourselves if we don't love each other,
when we both feel the same pain?
An eye for an eye, a word for a word
Peace on earth could be displayed

Oh, there is not a God in heaven
that wants to see us fighting this way
Oh, He spoke more about loving
than people trying to make people change

When we are hungry, we are fed
When we are hungry, we are fed
With only one life to live,
I'd rather live with you as my friend
When we are hungry, we are fed
When we are hungry, we are fed
I'd rather live with you as my friend
than someone that I was trying to condemn

I'm a lover, I believe you are, too
And we're fighting for a common good
And if you love me, then say you do
Odds and ends will end where they should
