Lyrics
In the beginning, love was all around us. So vibrant and strong, so mysterious.
Then comes hate! Breeding all kinds of ignorance.
CHORUS: It came to pass that love would not stand, we came to fear our brother man. It came to pass that love would not stand, we came to hate our brother man. Check it out...
The children don't know yet, they learn as they grow. So teach and love them, and let them know. Then comes hate! Breeding all kinds of ignorance.
CHORUS: It came to pass that love would not stand, we came to fear our brother man. It came to pass that love would not stand, we came to hate our brother man. Check it out...
