Revolutionary Love - Ani DiFranco

I will tend my anger

I will tend my grief

I will achieve safety

I will find relief

I’ll show myself mercy

I’ll show myself respect

Yes, and I’ll decide when I’m ready

To forgive but not forget

And I will ask you, I’ll ask you questions

I will try, try to understand

And if you give me your story

I will hold it in my hands

Yeah, I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love

Revolution

Revolution

Revolution

And even if you hurt me

I will not shut down

No, you can’t make me hate you

And carry that hate around

I will see no stranger

Only parts of myself I don’t yet know

Yes, and I’ll see right through evil

To a wound, too scared to show

Yeah, I have the power to stay open

Oh, I have the power to be

The one that I’ve been waiting for

The one who sets me free

Yeah, I can bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I can bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I can bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love

Oh, well I will tend my anger

I will tend my grief

I will achieve safety

Yeah, I will find relief

Yeah, I’ll show myself mercy

I will show myself respect

Yes, and I’ll decide when I’m ready

To forgive but not forget

And I’ll ask you, ask you questions

I will try, try to understand

And if you give me your story

I will hold it in my hands

And I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

Yes, I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love

Yes, I can bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I will bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

I can bring the love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love (the love, the love)

The revolutionary love
