Vaughan Penn - Eye for an eye lyrics

My eyes have done their share of dryin' My mind's been preoccupied My life's like a blackbird flyin' from a resting place on a wire My ears sting deaf from deception My hands shake cold from numb My back breaks from old friends rejections Where judgments and grudges are hung [Chorus:] But I'm not gonna hate Even if I ache inside I'm not gonna hurt someone Even if I'm justified I'm not gonna lie Even if I've been deceived An eye for an eye Is not the life I choose to lead I'm calling all lost souls and sinners Adhere to the saints of men Like Martin or Gandhi or Jesus We should all learn to forgive Has the cost of freedom been forgotten Has the price of peace been banned I believe love lives somewhere inside the brotherhood of man [Chorus:] But I'm not gonna hate Even if I ache inside I'm not gonna hurt someone Even if I'm justified I'm not gonna lie Even if I've been deceived An eye for an eye Is not the life I choose to lead [Chorus:] But I'm not gonna hate Even if I ache inside I'm not gonna hurt someone Even if I'm justified I'm not gonna lie Even if I've been deceived An eye for an eye Is not the life I choose to lead
