Tolerance Lyrics - Yell Fire! - Michael Franti

A child is born and a mamma's torn 

About the life that it's bound to live 

A sun and moon, and a modest home 

Is all they asking the Lord to give 

But politics and big events 

They never seem to notice the little guy 

So make a plan or simply hold a hand 

But don't ever be a passer by 

Tolerance or violence 

And the whole world goes to war 

Is one enough or is one too many? 

Before we say, "No more" 

Could you ever love a pot of gold? 

Could you ever love another lonely soul? 

And could you ever find a love that was oceans wide? 

Could you ever find love in another stranger's eyes? 

Give a little tolerance, tolerance 

We need you more and more 

So lend a hand or simply hold a friend 

Thats in need of a life support 

Draw a picture, share a whisper 

Anyway that you can rise above 

And when the end is near, who is gonna volunteer? 

To be the last one to die for love 

Tolerance or violence 

And the whole world goes to war 

Is one enough or is one too many? 

Before we say, "No more" 

No more, no more 

No more, no more
