Lyrics The Antidote - Memphis May Fire

HATE PLAGUES THE WORLD AND KILLS RELATIONSHIP BEFORE IT EVER COULD START (Before it ever could start!)
IMPERFECT CREATURES THAT ARE INSECURE, SO WE HIDE BEHIND OUR BROKEN HEARTS (Broken hearts!)
KEEP DISTANCE FROM THOSE WHO NEED US 'CAUSE WE WON'T ADMIT THAT WE NEED THEM TOO (Need them too!)
AFRAID TO GIVE OURSELVES TO SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE WE'RE SCARED OF WHAT WE MIGHT LOSE
EVERYONE WANTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD
So why don't we just listen more and get off our pedestals?!
I've seen the darkness be defeated
I've seen the power, I believe it now (I believe it now)
Love is the antidote (Yeah, I believe it now, I believe it now)
Our one and only hope to turn the world around
YOU BECOME THE CANCER WHEN YOU START TO THINK YOU'VE GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT
So why would we believe that our opinions would be enough to show the world what love's about?!
STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
I've seen the darkness be defeated
I've seen the power, I believe it now (I believe it now)
Love is the antidote (Yeah, I believe it now, I believe it now)
Our one and only hope to turn the world around
The words you speak can set a broken world free
The power lies in who we choose to be
STOP TRYING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
MAYBE IF WE LEARNED TO SHOW COMPASSION THE WORLD WOULDN'T THINK WE HAD GUNS IN OUR HANDS
CALLED TO LOVE, CALLED TO LEAD
Have we forgotten who we're called to be?!
BUILD THEM UP, DON'T BREAK THEM DOWN
THE WAY WE LOVE CAN TURN THE WORLD AROUND, TURN THE WORLD AROUND
I've seen the darkness be defeated
I've seen the power, I believe it now (I believe it now)
Love is the antidote (Yeah, I believe it now, I believe it now)
Our one and only hope to turn the world around
STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK
