I once knew a man named hate
who dwelled inside my soul
I gave him my heart
time and again he hurt me
but I kept him closer than any
never making a move with out him
never letting anyone closer than him
always looking through his eyes

I once knew a man named hate
who thought he was stronger than God
and took the people God had made
to fight a loosing battle against good
I was in that war
fighting against hope
fighting against love

I once knew a man named hate
who died in my heart on one september day
when love smiled at me with a crooked grin
and opened my heart to beauty

I once knew a man named hate
but now I know a man named love

Beautiful....Love has a way of doing that!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
