"TOLERANCE"
Sarah Dan Jones - November 2002

See the street gang in the vacant lot,			
 fighting for things they haven’t got			
Killing each other to shed some blood
Scratching and sinking down in the mud

Judging another for how he prays
Thinking his faith is a type of craze
Accepting the fact that he might be right
Scares us to death, makes us want to fight

CHORUS:
        	Tolerance isn’t an accident			
	Loving each other is time well spent		
	Seeing someone else’s point of view		
	Gives us the freedom to live the truth		

There’s such a gap between rich and poor
What is it that keeps us from doing more
How can we live with this awful sin
When all that it takes is to lend a hand

Black versus white versus young and old
Mixing it up as a pot of gold
Prophets they tell us “we all are one”
Living together;  the deal is done.

CHORUS

I know some of you think this is not right
The only way out is to show our might
What is we just took a small step back
And looked at the patience we somehow lack

Can’t we agree on reality
All that we want is to just be free
Learn to yield;  think of a compromise
Otherwise it could be our demise.

CHORUS
