Why is it welcome in our cities
Why is it welcome in our schools
Are we ever gonna wake up or feed the fire fuel
The thing that's tearing us apart isn't welcomed in my heart

I hate hate
What's it gonna take to love one another
Change our ways
Come on sisters, come on brothers
Haven't we had enough
Just as much as I love love I hate hate

Hate infects us like a poison
Love's the antidote we need
And if you're not part of the cure then
You're part of the disease
So what's it gonna to be
A million ways to disagree, but we've only got one enemy

I admit I have thrown
My fair share of stones
Am I standing here alone, singing

I hate hate
What's it gonna take to love one another
Change our ways
All of my sisters, all of my brothers
Haven't we had enough
Just as much as I love love
I hate hate
