More Than a Palette of Stains
We've killed in the name of God
Fought in the name of peace
Oppressed our brother in the name of freedom
When will these wonders cease?
We're quick to lay the blame
At the feet of our fellow man
But until we've traveled in his shoes
Can we really understand?
More than a palette of stains
We're better than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
There's more to the southern man
Than mistakes that his father made
There's no way to simply erase the past
But who wants to be its slave?
More than a palette of stains
We're better than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
When you're slapped right across the face
When the thorn's thrust in your side
It takes a lot to turn the other cheek
But why not give it a try?
'Cause more than a palette of stains
We're better than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
More than a palette of stains
We're greater than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
Fought in the name of peace
Oppressed our brother in the name of freedom
When will these wonders cease?
We're quick to lay the blame
At the feet of our fellow man
But until we've traveled in his shoes
Can we really understand?
More than a palette of stains
We're better than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
There's more to the southern man
Than mistakes that his father made
There's no way to simply erase the past
But who wants to be its slave?
More than a palette of stains
We're better than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
When you're slapped right across the face
When the thorn's thrust in your side
It takes a lot to turn the other cheek
But why not give it a try?
'Cause more than a palette of stains
We're better than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
More than a palette of stains
We're greater than the sum of our sins
And love's what helps us keep the faith
In the good that lies within
