damien dempsey - born without hate lyrics

from unspeakable acts of evil, beauty and good, they can spring
while the tyrant sinks into personal h+ll, the hurt ones hearts can fly glide and sing
jazz and blues and folk and reggae, they were forged in fire and flames
the shimmering strength of the human soul, can smash the bonds of all these chains

chorus
please, brother please
can you hear what i have to say
please, mister please
there are lessons to learn today
please, brother, please
we’re all born without hate
one fine day
one fine day
one fine day

many backs against many walls
they recall the dreadful lash
shackles crack, and are shaken off
phoenix rise, up from the ash
i feel the hate, in my own land against me for who i am
and i see the hate for the immigrant man
and yet my own are in every land

chorus
kate tempest:
i took a breath and in it were the screams of every grieving mother and daughter
the heaving of the water thick with oil
the dreaming of the prisoner
staring at the walls and imagining the kisses of her son
and i was sickened by the fumes
the city’s on its knees
blood’s dripping from the t++th of the kids who walk the street
the junkie with a baby in her womb
numb beneath the stranger in her room
but then i took a step and with it i walked past the feeling that there’s nothing i can do to help or grasp with any certainty
life is ours to take care of
you can’t love what you’re scared of and love is the key
i took another breath and with it i was sure that no matter what’s to come or what has been before we have the right now the right here to make peace with
no hidden truth no secret
we have all the answers already we were born without hate
eyes bright hearts heavy
skies full of lightning tonight
the clouds’ bellies are purple and ready to rain
what’s pleasure to the man that has never known pain
never known pain
