There is hatred in this world, 
Anger on every street.
Yelling, fighting, marching,
"I'm right!" "You're wrong" "Defeat!"
On ballfields around this nation
Two teams compete with rare a fight
But fans return to neighborhoods
Shouting politics into the night.

And quiet souls who show respect
Regardless of their stance
Are battered with words and visions of hate
Their silent respect has no chance.

For anger and hatred and marches and shouts
Get stages and photos and fame,
But those whose hearts are at peace with God
Care little how much they're defamed.

No changes how large or widespread done
Will make eternity different
So stop, my child, learn to hear the small voice
That changes a HEART that will listen.
