It begins very small
Seems like nothing much at all
Just a germ, just a speck, just a grain
But the seed has been sown
And before you know it's grown
It has spread through your life like a stain
And its' power will strangle your love and your joy
And its' hunger consumes for it lives to destroy
Hate is the star
It becomes who you are
Not the hated but the hater
Has a torment that's greater
It will eat you alive
Consume you and spit you out
Hate will win,
That there's no doubt about
Hate doesn't care who you are
Hate is the star!
Learning hate is an art
Even people who are smart
Can be caught
Can be crushed
Can be creamed
It has swallowed you whole...
Did you think you're in control?
Hate you thought, hate you spoke, hate you dreamed
All your hate gave me substance
Your lives are undone
It's your eve of destruction
Your hatred has won!
I never dreamed that we'd be distanced by a hate
That all the trust we had would go
How could I hate you
How could it come to pass?
This awful twist of fate
How could I hurt you
This madness can't be so
I can't believe it
I never dreamed that any barriers could rise
Or that I'd ever see the stranger in your eyes
Our hearts were hurting both the same
The hurt was tearing up our souls
The fury in us made us blind
We could not see beyond the pain
If we can turn again to love
If we can heal these open wounds
We'll leave this hatred far behind
So not a trace of hate remains
We'll overcome our damaged past
And we'll grow stronger side by side
To stand together through the storms
We're safe ‘cause love will be our guide.
