What he means - Just Jinjer

This song opens my heart wide open:


Proud to be South African!

What he means lyrics


if there is grace in this world
if there is light on this earth
let us use it
let us see it
starting right now
can we be down with ourselves
respectful and mindful of one, of one another
your significant other
your sister your brother

peace, love, more tolerance
faith hope, trust in the same name of god
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
is there relief up ahead
cos judgement and hearing await
a weight on our minds to bear
a shame on our heads to wear
where is salvation in love
now that we have what we want
now that we have our wars

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
with a little bit of ease and a little bit of calm
acceptance is the key to all we know
what about a stir of compassion and lenience
what about some understanding
what about some sympathy

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read
freedom, kindness, warm deliverance, comfort, mercy
redemption song
redemption song
redemption song
freedom, kindness, warm deliverance, comfort, mercy
redemption song
redemption song
redemption song

peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that's not what he means
and it doesn't matter what book you read


I agree, don't you?
