Don't Need A Reason To Love

Self Explanitory

Don’t Need A Reason To Love

(Verse 1)
The only battle I’ll fight is the battle for love
We people are too quick to want to shed blood
But never think for a minute what we’re shedding blood for
Or that the blood we shed is a child a mother bore

Now imagine it now somebody knocks at your  door  
And says get up, come on, we’re about to go to war
I don’t need to fill you in or tell you why you’ll fight
Just need  you ready and armed, with all of your might

(1st Hook)
That’s the way it’s all headed, the way we’ll all go
Fighting battles and wars for reasons we’ll never know
And at the end of the day what do we have to show
But the love in our heart that tells us so

(Chorus)
Don’t need a reason to be kind
No excuse to free your mind
Let your inner being show
It’s our only chance of hope
Don’t need excuses to be real
Let the world know how you feel
If you believe in God above
Don’t need a reason to love

Don’t got a reason to hate
But it happens every day
Taking lives that haven’t started
Babies subject to rape
It’s not wrong to do what’s right
We don’t always have to fight
Put some faith in God above
Don’t need a reason to love

(Verse 2)
Out on the battle field with no time for playing
Don’t know how you got there so you begin praying
Hoping somewhere someone will hear your cry
Praying, in vain, is not the way you’ll die

We want to feel no pain but we’re feeling no love
We want a peaceful world but only thinking of us
And now it’s time for someone’s battle to be won
Moma’s precious little boys killing another moma’s son

(2nd Hook)
Is that the way you want to live, cause someone had to die
You may shed no tears but someone else had to cry
At the end of the day when it all passes by
Bow your head down low, and raise your spirits high

(Chorus)
Don’t need a reason to be kind
No excuse to free your mind
Let your inner being show
It’s our only chance of hope
Don’t need excuses to be real
Let the world know how you feel
If you believe in God above
Don’t need a reason to love

Don’t got a reason to hate
But it happens every day
Taking lives that haven’t started
Babies subject to rape
It’s not wrong to do what’s right
We don’t always have to fight
Put some faith in God above
Don’t need a reason to love

(Verse 3)
After the war, and after the fight,
Nothing lost just can’t sleep at night
No use for your might, no need for your strength
Can’t take it all back and who’s to thank

We can live to fight and fight till we die
Let the beauties in life just pass us by
But don’t be surprised if at judgment day
God says, the life you took saw no mercy in your face


(Bridge)
Cruelty, pain, hurt, disdain
Killing, slaying, taking aim
All the things that make me gain
Fear of no shield from the rain

Hope, trust, kindness, grace
Forgiving, care, peace and faith
All the things that make me thank
God above he showed me love
 
(Refrain)
Don’t need a reason to be kind
No excuse to free your mind
Let your inner being show
It’s our only chance of hope
Don’t need excuses to be real
Let the world know how you feel
If you believe in God above
Don’t need a reason to love

Don’t got a reason to hate
But it happens every day
Taking lives that haven’t started
Babies subject to rape
It’s not wrong to do what’s right
We don’t always have to fight
Put some faith in God above
Don’t need a reason

I'm glad you suggested this one, I had to go back in the archives to find it, and I am impressed.
I love what you are saying here, the message is true and clear.
'Praying, in vain, is not the way you'll die'
This line is interesting it kinda made me think twice like whether the praying was in vain or dying in vain.
Lovin the chorus,
'It's not wrong to do what's right' And sadly it seems to be the anamoly stead of the norm
Thanx for coming thru, always glad to check talented writers

I am always so amazed by your wonderfully expressed words your poems and songs never fail to touch a part of my soul... a sign of an amazing writer is one who can make you laugh, cry, get angry, scared and get chills from their words and you have always been able to bring these out in me with everything you write! this one was no different and If I could leave a hundred comments it still would not express how very much I loved this song! I love you main!
