Afraid of that dread “other”
Who we see here in our midst
Their reasoning so foreign
That no common ground exists
Fear felt by those on both sides
Of an outcome that they dread
And anger that strange values
May bring hardship on our head
In this time of great division
Let us seek to truly hear
Quick to listen, slow to anger,
Speaking peace to men in fear
Pursuing peace with all men
Speaking timely truths in love
Holding tension here as strangers
Seeking our true home above
