My Heart Is Tender
My heart is tender, my spirit is pure
I hate no one I love all.
I seek knowledge even if I am poor.
It is the real weapon when nights fall.
I praise justice, I detest oppression.
Every day I forgive every day I tolerate
I dream of a day money isn’t our mission.
You is me and me is you
When you give, think you take
When you take think you give.
Life is but a shadow and a fake.
Try to be as you are good natured
Try to be yourself, a real tolerant
Love peace, hate war, feels cultured.
Or else be a delf, sure inconsistent.
We have one and the same lord
We belong to one and the same father
Why we fight, why spy why hold a sword
Kill me kill you kill us both together
You are poor I am rich
You need and I give
I mistake you teach
You mistake I forgive.
Never say East is east ,
Never say west is west
Never say He is best
Say you are my rest best
A bomb is easy and fast to make
Fire is easy and fast to set
A friend is difficult and tiring to take
A brother is difficult and boring to collect
Fire fire everywhere
Weapon weapon every when
War became a nightmare
Evil is a lion out of a den.
Our smile is the same
We populate the same earth
Why do we differ in aim?
Why do we carry a curse?
Be wise and give up be humble and try
One day you will stop, one day you will weep.
Repent in hast your sins multiply
The hell is large, the hell is deep.
Think of paradise prepared for the pious
You have got a heart for you to guide
Think of the hell prepared for the callous
You have got principles from God to abide
One day sure will come we will die
One day sure will come we will meet
You will be asked, you will sure reply
Why kill, why demolish why cheat
Each sin you commit, each good you
Will be in a book incarnated for you
That is the time of Rejoice or woe
Back again for life, of course a big No.
