From the recording A Different Sky
Lyrics
Love is a Sun
V1.
You build and Empire upon fear
And make your critics disappear
But the tighter you grasp the sand
The more it’s slipping from your hand
Chorus
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
The heat of our madness dies away
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
Whose loving kindness warms us everyday
V2
Throughout the centuries we see
A thousand bloody victories
But all that violence achieves
A billion people lost to grief
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
The heat of our madness dies away
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
Whose loving kindness warms us everyday
Middle 8
The power of love will never alter
Our love for others is too strong
And every impulse in our waters
Reveals the peace where we belong
Reveals the peace where we belong
We cannot build a life on hate
Where men and women court division
Our only hope a humble state
Of generosity, compassion
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
The heat of our madness dies away
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
Whose loving kindness warms us everyday
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
The heat of our madness dies away
Hate is a fire but love is a sun
Whose loving kindness warms us everyday
