All I Knew

I wasn’t born with a violent heart
I didn’t know what my race was
I didn’t need to kill anyone
All that I knew
All that I knew was love
I wasn’t born with a jealous heart
I didn’t know what I deserved and
I didn’t need to own anything
All that I knew
All that I knew was love
I wasn’t born with an ego
I didn’t know what my name was
I didn’t need to be anyone
All that I knew
All that I knew was love
We grow up and they teach us the evil we’ve learned
People aren’t evil, I’ll take my turn
And someday the old way we’ll laugh about
But for right now we somehow must phase it out
