Eye for Eye

Listen to the music - MIDI version

 

      "Eye for eye and tooth for tooth"
      Is not the way, and if you want proof
      Look what constant fighting leaves behind
      You've got to talk when you're seeking peace
      It's hard to talk when you've got no teeth
      And it's hard to find the way when you're both blind

      If someone hits you, don't hit back
      You shouldn't fight, and you shouldn't smack
      You shouldn't shout or throw your weight around
      Jesus said, blessed are the meek
      You've got to learn, turn the other cheek
      And find a better way, way to make things right

      Seeking revenge is AOK
      But Jesus said that the better way
      Is fighting hard to try and make things right
      You need to talk when you disagree
      And if it helps, find a referee
      It might not help at all, but it just might

      If someone hits you, don't hit back
      You shouldn't fight, and you shouldn't smack
      You shouldn't shout or throw your weight around
      Jesus said, blessed are the meek
      You've got to learn, turn the other cheek
      And find a better way, way to make things
      Find a better way, way to make things
      Find a better way, way to make things right
