Love me if you can

Sometimes think that war is necessary

Every night I pray for peace of earth

I hand down my dollars to the homeless

But believe that every able soul should work

My father gave me my shotgun, that I'll hand down to my son

Try to teach him everything it means



I'm a man of my convictions, call me wrong, call me right

But I bring my better angels to every fight

You may not like where I'm going

But you sure know where I stand

Hate me if you want to, love me if you can



I stand by my right to speak freely

But I worry about what kids learn from TV

And before all the bettin turns to angry words and hate,

Sometimes we should just agree to disagree

And I believe that Jesus, looks down and sees us

And if you asked him he would say



I'm a man of my convictions, call me wrong, call me right

But I bring my better angels to every fight

You may not like where I'm going

But you sure know where I stand

Hate me if you want to, love me if you can



I'm a man of my convictions, call me wrong, call me right

But I bring my better angels to every fight

You may not like where I'm going

But you sure know where I stand

Hate me if you want to, love me if you can
