Derek Webb - Love Is Not Against The Law lyrics

Politics or love

Can make you blind or make you see

Make you a slave or make you free

But only one does it all

And it's giving up your life

For the ones you hate the most

It's giving them your gown

When they've taken your clothes

It's learning to admit

When you've had a hand in setting them up

In knocking them down

Love is not against the law

Love is not against the law

Are we defending life

When we just pick and choose

Lives acceptable to lose

And which ones to defend

‘Cause you cannot choose your friends

But you choose your enemies

And what if they were one

One and the same

Could you find a way

To love them both the same

To give them your name

Love is not against the law

Love is not against the law
