JUDGE THE HEART

If the mountains were all flattened

The rivers and oceans gone

If the lands were pulled together

Of the earth we live upon

Had to rely on one another

To continue to exist

Would the senseless hate dissipate

Have you ever wondered this...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Children only know

What they're taught as they grow

And I don't like the lessons we impart

Strip away the skin and bones

Until the heart stands all alone

And you can't tell a single soul apart

Then judge the heart

~~*~~

If the money was divided

Everything shared equally

All able bodies had to work

Everyone cared for the weak

If we were decent to each other

Would the hate be any less

Just respecting those deserving

Have you ever wondered this...

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Oh judging hearts 

Life's already hard

~~*~~

Accept who is different

As long as their heart is well

Stay out of their business

If they're keeping to themselves

We aren't all the same religion

But we are all human beings

Oh why do we judge each other

Hate is such an awful thing

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Children only know

What they're taught as they grow

And I don't like the lessons we impart

Strip away the skin and bones

Until the heart stands all alone

And you can't tell a single soul apart

Then judge the heart

~~*~~

Oh judging hearts

Life's already hard

~~*~~
