Moving of the second hand

straight edge
if i have to stand alone
then i'll take this stand
and i'll be a martyr on this altar of values
or i'll play the fool

i wont accept alcohol
i wont take it inside of me
i cant forget
but i must forgive

i'm not ashamed
maybe you are.

I have love

forgiveness is my strength
not my weakness
compassion is my strength
not my weakness
love is my strength
not my weakness

if the well runs dry
the ground becomes brittle
will i crack under pressure?

i have love.

Pay the price

i'm still here
i've paid the price

there's a light in my heart 
that wont go out

and i care about what happens to me
and i care about what happens to my friends
that's it
i'll pay the price.

Instead of

it started with cain
it didnt end with jesus

you got stabbed in the back
so you'll kill someone else
you learned your lesson well.

and you are a coward
i wont say i'm not
i wont say i am
i wont say i'm not
i wont say i am

rationalization: nature
result: genocide
solution: unconditional love

schools instead of bombs
gardens instead of mass graves
giving instead of taking.

Ikari speaks

people only grow by their own strength
you are not an infant
stand on your own two feet and walk.
