Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
They say we’re losing and we’re lost so give up the fight
The time is right to hate ‘cause the sky is falling
But the better angels of our nature are here tonight
The better angels of our nature are calling
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
Fervently do we pray and fondly we do hope
That the scourge of civil war shall pass away
When the people rise as one in behalf of liberty
The gates of hell can never resist them
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
Life is always moving, it never stops
Those stuck in stone will never give us the answer
Through the dark eyes of the past, you cannot hope to discover
What the moment that we live in can offer
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
Love trumps hate, yeah! You made no sacrifice! Love trumps hate, yeah!
We are not enemies, but friends though passion may be a challenge
It must never break the love that still binds us
The mystic chords of memory will swell up once more
When they are touched by the better angels of our nature
(Reverend William Barber oration from Democratic National Convention)
You made no sacrifice!
