Brother James
Love Everybody
There’s a man locked in his room
Who has learned to love all humans
But can’t seem to find a single one
On his desk next to his Bible
Is a notebook that contains
In peaceful poetry, the purpose
Of every tragedy and pain
He’d share the solution
But there’s none he cares to tell
Because he loves everybody
But the one in front of him
He was searching for the answers
To questions old as time
Like: are we human, are we dancer?
And do all songs need to have parallel structure?
And in the fog he found a hopeful
Jar full of why
Pulled his fist up with a handful
But his hand was stuck inside
He holds the theory
That he might learn to live it in time
Because he loves everybody
But the one in front of him
He gives his alms to the poor
As long as they don’t bug him anymore
And keep off my property
I just need a moment of peace
Cause I love everybody
I just want a little peace
He loves everybody
He loves every living thing
Yes I love everybody
But the one in front of me
