[00:01.11]PARADISE FEARS
[00:02.91]"Same Love"
[00:04.22]
[00:30.69]When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay
[00:33.81]'Cause I could draw my uncle was and I kept my room straight
[00:36.07]I told my mom tears rushing down my face
[00:39.06]She's like “Sam you've loved girls since before pre-k ”
[00:41.81]
[00:42.36]Yeah I guess she had a point didn't she
[00:44.80]Bunch of stereotypes all in my head
[00:47.11]I remember doing the math like “Yeah I'm good at little league”
[00:51.16]A preconceived idea of what it all meant
[00:52.78]For those that liked the same sex
[00:54.22]Had the characteristics
[00:55.30]
[00:56.17]The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
[00:58.50]And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
[01:01.24]Man made rewiring of a predisposition
[01:03.68]
[01:04.25]Playing god aw nah here we go
[01:07.18]America the brave still fears what we don't know
[01:09.61]And god loves all his children is somehow forgotten
[01:11.82]
[01:12.44]But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
[01:14.83]
[01:16.95]I don't know
[01:17.82]And I can't change
[01:19.39]
[01:22.38]Even if I tried
[01:24.94]
[01:25.63]Even if I wanted to
[01:27.31]
[01:28.19]And I can't change
[01:29.87]
[01:30.81]Even if I try
[01:32.49]
[01:33.86]Even if I wanted to
[01:36.12]
[01:37.17]My love
[01:38.23]My love
[01:38.61]My love
[01:39.47]She keeps me warm
[01:40.79]
[01:42.16]She keeps me warm
[01:43.40]
[01:44.65]She keeps me warm
[01:46.03]
[01:47.53]She keeps me warm
[01:50.52]
[01:52.10]Ask yourself what kind of person do you wanna be
[01:54.22]And how many commandments are gonna rule how you think
[01:56.78]And do we really mean it when we say he loves us all
[01:59.96]And do we really believe it when they say that we're created equal
[02:02.90]Well of course I do I'm not a racist or an asshole
[02:05.95]Yet we can treat them less if their love is homosexual
[02:07.82]Well rules are rules and the bible's pretty clear here
[02:10.82]Yeah we know we get it but we don't live by procedure
[02:13.32]We decide what's right by what's right not what's written
[02:16.31]We evolve past our outdated norms and dispositions
[02:18.31]
[02:19.00]We don't exclude people based on footnotes of exodus
[02:21.99]Like my friend Haley who loves both of her dads
[02:24.55]You want to tell her their love is different
[02:26.17]You want to make that distinction
[02:27.35]You want to tell her that this beautiful and limitless thing that we call love
[02:30.54]Has rules and a proper way to do it
[02:33.04]And that their love is less love because an old book don't approve it
[02:36.03]I guess here's how I see it
[02:37.65]You got a heart beat like mine
[02:38.90]Probably get that same feeling when your fingers intertwine
[02:40.59]Well mi love es su love Same heart Same love
[02:44.20]About time we raise up same sex
[02:46.45]
[02:49.08]Love is patient

[02:51.94]

[03:18.15]
[03:20.95]Press play don't press pause
[03:22.82]
[03:23.39]Progress march on
[03:25.07]With the veil over our eyes
[03:26.45]We turn our backs to the cause
[03:28.06]Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
[03:30.62]When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
[03:33.94]A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
[03:36.62]And a certificate on paper isn't gonna change it all
[03:39.74]But it's a damn good place to start
[03:42.17]So it's time that we stand without a doubt or concession
[03:44.81]Rather than sitting here gridlocked in oppression
[03:48.37]We all raise our voices til they're too loud to ignore
[03:50.67]Singing songs of acceptance
[03:51.93]

[03:54.23]And I can't change
