PARIS LIVES!

Your love of the lockstep, we’ve seen it before here
Every color and hue of hatred and bigotry
The lessons you have not learned illuminate the city of light
Je suis Paris, je suis, je suis Paris

Your hatred of women, your hatred of all life
Color lies with some small truth, some sadists will follow you
But your pathetic and useless death wish is all we’ll remember you for
Suicide’s a sin and martyrs never win

You say god gives you courage as you prey on the helpless
You say you are strong but you can’t even think for yourself
It takes much more than hate to make the world go ‘round
For you, life’s cheap, for us it’s everything

What you start we will finish in this war to the finish
Between all that we love and whatever makes humans small
If you’re an enemy of life, then you’re an enemy for life
It’s right to fight for liberty—our birthright

Despite the risk factors, we still agree on what matters
Freedom, beauty and music and science and love, sweet love
Don’t think I don’t believe in a better world, I do
Inside my heart, I will learn to love despite you

Humanity’s our religion, every human’s a god here
The world is our temple and doing good is our prayer
The eternal city of light respects women because it is right
Je suis Paris, je suis, je suis Paris

You think we believe in nothing and therefore we’re nothing
But we believe in much more than you do, we believe in life
Our faith is greater than yours because love does so much more
Paris lives, love gives and in the end they will outlive you
Paris lives and gives and in the end they will outlive you
Paris lives and gives and in the end they will outlive you
Paris lives and gives and in the end they will outlive you

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

PARIS LIVES!
