A radical message in a reggae-influenced style.

This is NOT a religious song. But I think the radical idea of loving your enemies is a teaching that everyone seemed to conveniently ignore. It's the ultime love.

Love your enemies
Then you won't have any
How radical the idea was
2000 years ago
A wise man said these words of love
We sure could use them now
We learn by example
But nobody's teaching
It sure sounded simple
When Jesus was preaching
Love your enemies
Then you won't have any
It's no big thing to love someone
Who loves you just the same
But loving those who do you wrong's
A different kind of game
I will not begrudge you
A life of relative ease
I'm not here to judge you
But listen to me, please
Love your enemies
Then you won't have any
I cannot make you love someone
You'd rather just ignore
But love can breed a higher love
That offers so much more
I don't believe in
The judgment day
I just believe love
Is the only way
The world is waiting
For you to see
There is no difference
Between you and me
So, love your enemies
Then you won't have any
Love your enemies
Then you won't have any
