Stop Hurting People Lyrics
A love born once must soon be born again
A flame that died, then cinders to be fanned
By the wind and thrown to flame
Flames like tongues impassioned in a moments burst
Tell me, friend, why do you stand aloof from your own heart?The truth confronts you
The truth confronts you as the sea
Crushing without detail, impassioned and detached
Killing with love and power in God's namePeople, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting peopleLove conquers poses, love smashes stances
Love crushes angles into black
So you without question, know your first love is your last
And you will never, you'll never, you'll never love againI always wished to walk with her into restaurants
It's a clammy tale
To be seen beside her at the public bar foot rail
I always wanted to be matched with herYet her beauty was so different to mine
My beauty needs an understanding and a knowledge of what I am
Hers is enough, earned through eons for that's what true beauty is
Time's gift of perfect humilityMay I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help meMay I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad but God help me, God help meMay I be matched with you again
Without your match there is no flamePeople, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting peoplePeople, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting peoplePeople, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
People, stop hurting people
