Plain and Simple

Plain and Simple

Plain and simple, let me say
What you’re thinking anyway
You don’t have facts, you don’t have proof
You only want to raise the roof

Plain and simple let me say
You can’t hear me anyway
Roll your eyes and shake your head
That’s how you put your fears to bed

As your thoughts go round and round
You circle up to scare the town
All those things you love to hate
Fan the flames and you’ll be great

But time rolls on and years go by
You say your prayers, but don’t ask why
When you die before you wake
You’ll leave behind the fear and hate

Plain and simple, let me say
What I’m thinking everyday
Can’t use hate to play the game
Can’t use fear to shift the blame

Plain and simple, make it clear
Find new ways to fight the fear
Use our heads to keep it clear
Use our hearts to fight the fear

As our thoughts go round and round
Circle up and help the town
Let our message rise above
Fan the flames of peace and love

As time rolls on and years go by
We say our prayers, yet wonder why
But when die before we wake
We’ll leave behind the love we made
