lyrics

And we must see racism for what it is,
It is a myth of an inferior people.
It is a tragic notion that one group
Has all of the worth and all of the knowledge
All of the significance, all of the purity.
And whenever racism is a basic philosophy
It always brings into being an absolute disrespect
For a human personality.

I hate to hate alone, I cannot hate alone
afraid to be afraid so let me hold your hand.
And I will take you there and we are halfway there,
a place to thrive and rise a haters’ paradise.

Now the question is what do we do.
The answers are hard to find today.
And the fact is that with this kind of move taking place
hatreds are deeper, tensions are greater,
misunderstanding will be wider.

I hate to hate alone, I cannot hate alone
afraid to be afraid so let me hold your hand.
And I will take you there and we are halfway there,
a place to thrive and rise a haters’ paradise.
Often we all feel that we are struggling
and yet, in order to live
you’ve got to maintain hope
you’ve got to go on in spite of…

I hate to hate alone…

The problem can only be solved
when there is a kind of coalition of conscience.
And we’ve got to be that creative minority-
ready to do battle for the sacred vital valid issues of life
ready to do battle for the principles of justice
and goodwill and peace and brotherhood.
