Stop twisting my words
I told you to love
As you love yourself
I said not to judge

I told you be meek
You’ll inherit the Earth
I said that your life
Begins right at your birth

But you heard: Go kill
Evildoers, and sin
And you heard that life
Begins nine months from then

I said give from the heart
You heard aim for the chest
I said forgive your foes
You heard lay them to rest

I said do unto others
The same way that you
In return would like all
Of the others to do

But somehow you heard:
Kill gays, Muslims and Jews
And anyone else
Who holds different views

Stop twisting my words
I told you to love
And that comes to you straight
From the Big Guy above.
