Hands of Hate Lyrics

Oh, Misses Shepard I heard about your son

He was filled with glory until hates gun

And he cried at that fence

Like a scarecrow, afraid

As those boys beat him dry

With the hands of hate

And Lawrence King never saw 9th grade

Before that bullet was forced into his brain

By a bully, a madman

A classmate of rage

Just at 15, young Larry

Was sent to his grave

And we join together in the arms of faith

Can we join together and learn not to hate?

And we join together in the arms of faith

Can we join together and be one human race

Our friend Tyler was forced off of a bridge

After his roommates filmed and outed him

Making love to another

The same sex as him

And the only sin that God saw

Was the roommates killing him

Poor old Jamey always smiled and thrived

But as the slurs went on, he couldn’t stay alive

And he took his own life

On a cold september night

And the bullies admitted

That they wanted him to die

And we join together in the arms of faith

Can we join together and learn not to hate?

And we join together in the arms of faith

Can we join together and be one human race

Did you think about how his mama would cry?

When she was forced with goodbye?

Did you think about his papa when he died?

How will they survive?

And we join together in the arms of faith

Can we join together and learn not to hate?

And we join together in the arms of faith

Can we join together and be one human race
