lyrics

So many people in this crazy mixed-up world
Never really see what it is they do
So many conflicts that all could be resolved
If they only got into another person's shoes

The quality of mercy is not strained
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath
It is twice blest
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes

So much is wasted on so many needful things
All that we intend and all that we desire
We hope and pray that we might one day change
Through the pitch dark comes a cleansing fire

Why is it easier to hate than love
Why are we waiting for a sign from above
We should be reaching out with open arms
We should be keeping each other from all harm

So many wars are fought in the name of God
I wonder if that's what He had in mind
It'd be funny if it weren't so damn sad
I'd like to take the "kind" out of the word mankind
