Hands of Hate Lyrics by Ryan Cassata

The Rhythm

2012

[Verse 1]
Oh, Misses Shepard
I heard about your son
He was filled with glory until hate's gun
And he cried at that fence like a scarecrow, afraid
As those boys beat him dry with the hands of hate
And Lawrence King never saw ninth grade
Before that bullet was forced into his brain
By a bully, a madman
A classmate of rage
Just at fifteen, young Larry was sent to his grave
[Chorus]
And we join together in the arms of faith?
Can we join together and learn not to hate?
And we join together in the arms of faith
Can wе join together and be onе human race?
[Verse 2]
Our friend Tyler was forced off of a bridge
After his roommates filmed and outed him
Making love to another the same sex as him
And the only sin that God saw
Was the roommates killing him
Poor old Jamey always smiled and thrived
But as the slurs went on, he couldn’t stay alive
And he took his own life on a cold September night
And the bullies admitted that they wanted him to die
[Chorus]
And we join together in the arms of faith
Can we join together and learn not to hate?
And we join together in the arms of faith
Can we join together and be one human race?
[Bridge]
Did you think about how his mama would cry?
When she was forced with goodbye?
Did you think about his papa when he died?
How will they survive?
[Chorus]
And we join together in the arms of faith
(One people, One nation, One world, With only room for love) C
Can we join together and learn not to hate?
(No power, No war, No hate, There's only room for love)
And we join together in the arms of faith
(One people, One nation, One world, With only room for love) Can we join together and be one human race?
(No power, no war, stop hate!)
[Outro]
Oh, Misses Shepard, I heard about your son
He was filled with glory until hate's gun
And he cried at that fence like a scarecrow, afraid
As those boys beat him dry with the hands of hate
