Lay Hatred Down (Honoring Leonard Peltier)

From the Album Dove with Claws

Hopes eternal spring
Will make justice ring
Truth will prevail
Is it you or I in jail

Beauty all around
Love will lay hatred down

You can throw me in the hole
But you can never break my soul
My love grows and grows
With the eagle it does soar

Beauty all around
Love will lay hatred down

Beauty before
Beauty behind
Beauty above
Beauty below

Beauty all around
Love will lay hatred down
