Love is a Fearsome Thing Songtext
von Judy Small

Oh love is a fearsome thing
It pays no mind to the colour of your skin or your gender
Love is so powerful fierce and tender
And flies on its own sweet wing
Oh love is a fearsome thing.


In the state of Mississippi
In the town called Meridian
There are two little boys .who live with their Grandma Cause Mama has married a black man
And the lawyer says immoral and the judge says unfit mother
And in the best interest of the children
They′ll live with their grandma
In the land of the free
In the land of the free
In the land of the free

And in states and nations all over this planet
There are men who love in the dark
To avoid the police who would kill their affection and the lawyer says immoral
And the judge says unfit humans
And in the best interest of the people of the statewe'll confine them to prison
In the name of the free
In the name of the free
In the name of the free

And those who fear it most of those who′ve never known the power who've never known the hour of their passion strong and deep
So in the fear and hatred they turn their faces from it
Can't even look upon it sweep them off their feet.
Cause they know that...
