\ncan make you blind or make you see
\nmake you a slave or make you free
\nbut only one does it all<\/p>\n
\nfor the ones you hate the most
\nit\u00c2\u2019s giving them your gown
\nwhen they\u00c2\u2019’ve taken your clothes<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nwhen you\u00c2\u2019’ve had a hand in setting them up
\nin knocking them down<\/p>\n
\nlove is not against the law<\/p>\n
\nwhen we just pick and choose
\nlives acceptable to lose
\nand which ones to defend<\/p>\n
\nbut you choose your enemies
\nand what if they were one
\none and the same<\/p>\n
\nto love them both the same
\nto give them your name<\/em>
\n– Derek Webb<\/p>\n
