The Antidote - Memphis May Fire

Hate plagues the world and kills relationship

Before it ever could start

Imperfect creatures that are insecure

So we hide behind our broken hearts

Keep distance from those who need us

Because we won’t admit that we need them too

Afraid to give ourselves to someone else

Because we’re scared of what we might lose

Everyone wants to be understood

So why don’t we just listen more and get off our pedestals

I’ve seen the darkness be defeated

I’ve seen the power

I believe it now!

Love is the antidote

Yeah I believe it now!

Our one and only hope

To turn the world around

You become the cancer

When you start to think you’ve got it all figured out

So why would we believe that our opinions

Would be enough to show the world what love’s about?

Stop and think before you speak!

I’ve seen the darkness be defeated

I’ve seen the power

I believe it now!

Love is the antidote

Yeah I believe it now!

Our one and only hope

To turn the world around

The words you speak

Can set a broken world free

The power lies in who we choose to be

Stop trying to solve the problems

That you don’t understand

Maybe if we learned to show compassion

The world wouldn’t think we had guns in our hands!

Called to love

Called to lead

Have we forgotten who we’re called to be?

Build them up!

Don’t break them down

The way we love can turn the world around

Turn the world around!

I’ve seen the darkness be defeated

I’ve seen the power

I believe it now!

Love is the antidote

Yeah I believe it now!

Our one and only hope

To turn the world around

Stop and think before you speak!
