[Verse 1]
Dear Hate
I saw you on the news today
Like a shock that takes my breath away
You fall like rain, cover us in drops of paint
I’m afraid that we just might drown
[Verse 2]
Dear Hate
Well, you sure are colorblind
Your kiss is the cruelest kind
You could poison any mind
Just look at mine
Don’t know how this world keeps spinning ’round and round
[Chorus]
You were there in the garden like a snake in the gra**
I see you in the morning staring through the looking gla**
You whisper down through history and echo through these halls
But I hate to tell you, love’s gonna conquer all
[Verse 3 – Vince Gill]
Dear Hate
You were smiling from that Selma bridge;
In Dallas, when that bullet hit, and Jackie cried;
You pulled those towers from the sky
But even on our darkest nights, we’ll keep spinning ’round
[Chorus]
You were there in the garden like a snake in the gra**
I see you in the morning staring through the looking gla**
You whisper down through history and echo through these halls
But I hate to tell you, love’s gonna conquer all
[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Coda]
Dear Love
Just when I think you’ve given up
You were there in the garden when I ran from your voice
I hear you every morning through the chaos and the noise
You still whisper down through history and echo through these halls
And tell me love’s gonna conquer all
Gonna conquer all
