Derek Webb - This Too Shall Be Made Right lyrics

rate me

People love you the most for the things you hate

And hate you for loving the things that you cannot keep

Straight

People judge you on a curve

And tell you you're getting what you deserve

This too shall be made right

Children cannot learn when children cannot eat

Stack them like lumber when children cannot sleep

Children dream of wishing wells

Whose waters quench all the fires of Hell

This too shall be made right

The earth and the sky and the sea are all holding their

Breath

Wars and abuses have nature groaning with death

We say we're just trying to stay alive

But it looks so much more like a way to die

This too shall be made right

There's a time for peace and there is a time for war

A time to forgive and a time to settle the score

A time for babies to lose their lives

A time for hunger and genocide

This too shall be made right

I don't know the suffering of people outside my front

Door

I join the oppressors of those who I choose to ignore

I'm trading comfort for human life

And that's not just murder it's suicide

This too shall be made right
