Ani Difranco Revolutionary Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
I'll decide when I'm ready
To forgive but not forget
I will ask you questions
I will try to understand
And if you give me your story
I will hold it in my hands

[Chorus 1]
Yes, I will bring the love
The revolutionary love
I will bring the love
The revolutionary love
I will bring the love
The revolutionary love
The revolutionary love

[Post-Chorus]
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution
[Verse 2]
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
I'll see right through evil
To a wound, too scared to show
I have the power to stay open I have the power to be
The one that i've been waiting for
The one who sets me free

[Chorus 2]
Yes, i can bring the love
The revolutionary love
I can bring the love
The revolutionary love
Yes, i will bring the love
The revolutionary love
The revolutionary love

[Verse 1]
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
I'll decide when I'm ready
To forgive but not forget
I will ask you questions
I will try to understand
And if you give me your story
I will hold it in my hands
[Chorus 1]
Yes, I will bring the love
The revolutionary love
I will bring the love
The revolutionary love
I will bring the love
The revolutionary love
The revolutionary love
