With a lot to be afraid of
Having been made to fear
But you whoever you may be
Did not make us this way
You gave us what it takes to love
To know love makes us free
If anything means anything
Between us make us see
The maker was not mistaken
But maybe we have been
Maker make us make love again
Not war not anymore
Maker make us remember who
Made us to make it through
Fear is not what you made us for
Maker make us like you
