Choose Love

(album: Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll - 2018)

I know we can be strong and know our right from wrong
Any idiot can sing it in a song, so sing it

Choose love, choose life today, tonight
No fear, no pain, no hate, no shame

I scream to make it better in a hundred forty letters
I feel useless and I cannot settle
In a blood bath that's only getting wetter
I see fear and stiffness in their eyes
Of the canary we got coughing in our coal mine
Misanthropical, a memory all blurred
Bullet holes and bruises, protected and served

Choose love, choose life today, tonight
No fear, no pain, no hate, no shame

Before our sandcastles fade in the desert wind
All's left is plastics where the whales live and sing
You're out of blessings and there's nothing you can buy
Your holy ghost is just the devil in disguise

Choose love, choose life today, tonight
No fear, no pain, no hate, no shame
Choose love, choose life today, tonight
No fear, no pain, no hate, no shame...

I need a hand to hold today, five fingers that won't slip away
In a world that can be so cruel love is vital
Choose love, choose life today, tonight
No fear, no pain, no hate, no shame...
