I never claimed to be a saint
But keep in mind neither are you
You wield your book like it's your greatest weapon
But did you ever stop and think that maybe
That was not its intention, its intention
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
But this tapestry of hate you've woven
Has begun to fray
Because in the end words are only words
Yet you hide behind them no matter who you hurt
So forgive me if I do not follow suit
Then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
You have the right to disagree
For what it's worth I'll respect your beliefs
Can't you afford the same compassion
To your fellow man even if you do not
Understand his actions, his actions
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
But this tapestry of hate you've woven
Has begun to fray
Because in the end words are only words
Yet you hide behind them no matter who you hurt
So forgive me if I do not follow suit
Then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
cnd if your heaven doesn't let me in
Because I would not throw my stones
I'll spend eternity just wandering
Searching for a place I can call my own
But I won't be alone
I never claimed to be a saint
But keep in mind neither are you
So you can gnash your teeth and stomp your feet
Say that I'll have hell to pay
But this tapestry of hate you've woven
Has begun to fray
Because in the end words are only words
Yet you hide behind them no matter who you hurt
So forgive me if I do not follow suit
Then again who says my forgiveness lies with you
who says my forgiveness lies with you
