It's better to love


It's better to love me, then to judge me Love me, because God loves you And if he didn't you wouldn't be here Now tell me isn't that true My mom died when I was eleven Now she's in heaven And my dad's a stranger So your harsh words don't ease my anger So never judge a book by it's cover Look inside me and you'll discover Thr real me, the me with confidence and integrity Cause I can't be summarized by the summary at the back of the book Things aren't always how they look Nor can I be defined So don't waist your time And I know it's such a cliche' But it's true And you'll know too once you find the real you Behind that pretend smile Your so indinile, but I guess that's your style So let me cool off before I blow up You think you know me, but you don't know enough To hate would be a disgrace Because you too have sinned So instead of judging lend a hand I recommend Because you too have sinned Before you cast me in the lions den Because nobody's perfect Or maybe you are Maybe you have the proof of the scars When they hung you high, stretched you wide, and pierced in the side Maybe that was you Maybe I'm confused Maybe thar was you, who talked me off that ledge Not the ledge of a building, but the ledge of destruction No it was God, who came in and started reconstructin But if judging's your desire, your desire will expire Once you feel the wrath of the fire And oh yes, sinners will be running In that great old day But it's not much I want to say Because it's in revelations Read for yourself and you'll find your destination So never judge a book by it's cover Look inside me and you'll discover That it's better to love me, then to judge me
