Hatred Is A Heavy Load

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Hatred is a bitter taste, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is an angry haste, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is an awful waste.
Let it go.

Hatred is core decease, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is a pain increase, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is a thief of peace.
Let it go.

Hatred is a self defeat, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is a prickly heat, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is a missing beat.
Let it go.

Hatred is a heavy load, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is a rocky road, let it go, let it go.
Hatred is a dark abode.
Let it go.
