The Promise
If, we made this decision to honor,
To respect ourselves
Would life be so hard?
If, we try to understand that hope
Lives and breathes for us
Would there be fewer tears shed?
If, we could love unconditionally
Would violence have a name?
If, we are made for knowledge,
Why is the truth so hard to believe?
If, we made this decision to honor,
To respect ourselves
Would life be so hard?
To respect ourselves
Would life be so hard?
If, we try to understand that hope
Lives and breathes for us
Would there be fewer tears shed?
If, we could love unconditionally
Would violence have a name?
If, we are made for knowledge,
Why is the truth so hard to believe?
If, we made this decision to honor,
To respect ourselves
Would life be so hard?
