LYRICS:
Oh, Misses Shepard I heard about your son
He was filled with glory until hates gun
And he cried at that fence
like a scarecrow, afraid
As those boys beat him dry
with the hands of hate

And Lawrence King never saw 9th grade
Before that bullet was forced into his brain
By a bully, a madman
A classmate of rage
Just at 15, young Larry
was sent to his grave

And we join together in the arms of faith
Can we join together and learn not to hate?
And we join together in the arms of faith




Can we join together and be one human race

Our friend Tyler was forced off of a bridge
After his roommates filmed and outed him
Making love to another
the same sex as him
And the only sin that God saw
Was the roommates killing him

Poor old Jamey always smiled and thrived
But as the slurs went on, he couldn't stay alive
and he took his own life
on a cold september night
and the bullies admitted
that they wanted him to die

And we join together in the arms of faith
Can we join together and learn not to hate?
And we join together in the arms of faith




Can we join together and be one human race

Did you think about how his mama would cry?
When she was forced with goodbye?
Did you think about his papa when he died?
How will they survive?

And we join together in the arms of faith
Can we join together and learn not to hate?
And we join together in the arms of faith




Can we join together and be one human race

[pinkcheerleader730]

Met Ryan today , he inspired me. I cry when i hear this song; and when i watch the Dysphoria video. Such an eye opener. Im straight, yeah- but i support anyone else in their choices. Especially Ryan. And i believe that everyone should be accepted. Ryan showed me through his story that you have to overcome many obstacles to get your point across to others and make a change and its wirth it if its for something you believe in. He is truly an amazing guy.

Ryan you gained a fan today. -3

Ryan,

You're brave, talented, kind, and I'm proud to know you. Your music never fails to touch me. You inspired me to start writing my own songs. Maybe I'll take up guitar lessons again. You're my hero. You should TOTALLY try to get your music on the radio!

Yes of course I hold the bible as the basis. And yes, the bible does call homosexuality a sin. But God calls us (Christians) to love EVERYONE and judge NO ONE. Who am I to tell anyone how to live?

[Bushra Zafreen Amin]

Look God is not said to be hateful, maybe only metaphorical, but you can't deny the quotes from the bible which blatantly call homosexuality a sin. Do you not hold the bible as the basis for christianity?

[Julia Vogt]

This song never fails to make me cry. Beautiful tribute to those we have lost. Thank you Ryan. <3
