There are two sides to every story
The truth leaves where it don’t belong
It’s a tricky line that we’re walking 
When we’ve got so many people talking 
And nobody thinks that they’re wrong

How you gonna love someone if you don’t forgive them
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneeling
How you gonna live out the words you’re preaching
If you don’t believe them 

This flood isn’t made up of water
But somehow we all drown anyway 
We make the ugly look so pretty
And the innocent so guilty
In all of these games that we play

How you gonna love someone if you don’t forgive them
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneeling
How you gonna live out the words you’re preaching
If you don’t believe them

How ya gonna live them
If you don’t believe them

How you gonna love someone if you don’t forgive them
How you gonna hear what they say if you never listen
How you gonna stand up when the world wants you kneeling
How you gonna live out the words you’re preaching
If you don’t believe them
