So why do people think my faith is of intolerance'
Does it look like I am on the defense'
Don't get me wrong, I know we're not all the same
so go and hate, 'cause you have nothing to say

Just because I don't support your cause
Does that make you want to hate me'
I always thought this was the land of the free
But you don't want me to believe in what I believe
I refuse to stand by and listen to your hypocrisy
I'm so sick
I can't take it anymore

I have the right to be angry
I won't take it anymore

I won't let the sun go down with this hate on my hands
No matter what you say or do, I will forgive you
So will my Father

So why do people think my faith is of intolerance'
Does it look like I am on the defense'
Don't get me wrong, I know we're not all the same
so go and hate, because you have nothing to say

So let's wash our hands of this hate
Once and for all
Even though I have the right to be angry

You know forgiving is the hardest thing I've ever learned to do
I receive strength from my Father to show mercy on people like you

I won't let the sun go down with this hate on my hands
No matter what you say or do, I will forgive you
So will my Father

Why do people think my faith is of intolerance'
Does it look like I am on the defense'
Don't get me wrong, I know we're not all the same
so go and hate, because you have nothing to say
