L. Marquee - If Love Wins... [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hook
If love wins, why is there so much hate?
Gay marriage legalized all 50 states
People disagree and get in heated debates
But some people don't respect each other, they just hate!
If love wins, why is there so much hate?
Gay marriage legalized in all 50 states
People disagree and get in heated debates
But some people don’t respect each other, they just hate!

Verse 1
I'm a Christian, I guess that means I hate gays
Marriage is between a man and a woman and I disagree with your ways
You don't have to listen to me, this is the word of Yahweh
All Christians are against you, we're just following what God says

Is this really what you assume?
That we all hate you and want to beat you in the head with a broom?
People on both sides of this debate are raging like a typhoon
But Christians aren't evil creatures only seeking your doom

Wait, L, don't all homosexuals go to Hell?
No, that's just a lie deceitful pastors like to tell
Rejecting the deity of Christ is what sends one to where the sinners dwell
Faith and repentance keeps you out of the sentence of the eternal jail cell

People call us homophobic ‘cause we disagree
Even though a true Christian loves everyone in the gay community
They’re quick to judge us and the one who died on the tree
Yet people call us the judgemental ones, irony

Verse 2
I’m not letting this beat stop without calling a couple Christians out
I’m referring to the ones that people actually complain about
Parents who kicked their gay child out of the house I’m talking to you
Westboro Baptist Church, you’re getting some criticism too

Being gay is a sin and people need to repent
But hate is also a sin, your lack of knowledge is apparent
Putting works over faith makes Christ’s sacrifice inadequate
You fail to express the love of the Son that was Heaven sent

Are we really on the right course?
We protest gay marriage but we don’t do the same for divorce
All sin is sin, one isn’t greater than the other
Yet Christians neglect the sin that separated me from my mother

It's people like you who make us all look like hypocrites
You claim Christ yet defame your neighbor and I'm sick of it
Your lack of love is really making me mad
Either quit hating or quit calling yourselves Christians, you're making us look bad!

Bridge
Why does everybody hate me?
I just wanna be loved
Why does everybody hate me?
I just wanna be loved

Verse 3
Why can't we all get along?
Is it because you call right what I call wrong?
Everyone is different, we're not going to agree
Christians and non Christians need to do this respectfully

Did we really forget that God said love your neighbor?
Read Mark 12:31, examine the ink on the paper
It’s times like these to focus on pointing people towards our savior
Even if we disagree, why do both parties act like haters?

I’m not saying we should conform
Christ’s word will always be superior to the social norm
We’re only useful if we’re hot or cold, not lukewarm
But there is a way to call out sin and not be hurtful like a bad germ

Your sin is no worse than mine
Every act against the will of God is a crime
Yet God will offer us forgiveness every time
We come to him and say I surrender, my life is thine
