how to love

I saw someone laughing at a man who lost his life
And left behind two toddlers and a newly widowed wife
I think it's time we take a deeper look inside
And ask who are we? (Who are we?)
What am I?

Watch the news machine spin up again
And make us all believe that he deserved what came to him
Am I the only one who's crawling in my skin?
Half terrified of what's inside

So, what kind of world do we want?
What kind of world are we in?
Good God, where did we go wrong?
How'd we so quickly forget how to love, how to love?
How'd we forget, how to love, how to love

How'd we get so brainwashed to believe
That it's okay to end a heartbeat if they disagree?
Cheering in the face of broken people
While they grieve, oh
I don't know, it's not a joke

But it's funny how by silencing a voice, you make it grow
And it's funny how the blackest night
Brings out the sunlight's glow
And it's funny how the devil's been
Tryin' the same thing since 2000 years ago

So, what kind of world do we want?
What kind of world are we in?
Good God, where did we go wrong?
How'd we so quickly forget how to love, how to love?
How'd we forget, how to love, how to love

I wanna be, I wanna be remembered for, um
For courage, for my faith
That, that would be the most important thing

What kind of world do we want?
What kind of world are we in?
Good God, where did we go wrong?
How'd we so quickly forget how to love, how to love? (how to love)
How'd we forget how to love, how to love?

How'd we forget how to love, how to love?
How to love, how to love
