Lyrics

My grandma grew up in the '30s, she's a Catholic through and through
I would've understood if she had been abrasive and confused
She could've turned away and simply washed her hands of it
Instead, she's bragging to her friends how great her grandson is
It makes me wonder, would it all change if we just sat down to speak?
I'm not fed up with you for fearing something that you've never seen
When people painted you a picture of who I am, supposedly
It's not surprising that you're trying to not get too close to me
All your violence, all your venom
Won't come close to getting rid of me
And at the pearly gates, all those statements you made
Will suddenly be things you didn't really mean
I find it strange to hold such hatred for a stranger
You'll find it strange when I hold kindness to your anger
I find it strange, this shape you mold me into
And you'll find it strange when I forgive you
My grandma grew up in a Catholic school and never misses Mass
I wouldn't blame her, if at her age, it was all too much to grasp
And she don't know all of the proper terminology and words
But at 83, her love for me is what made her want to learn
'Cause I'm not an act of revolution that you're watching on the news
I bet you'd like me if we talked, I bet you wouldn't have a clue
And when the swords are to the side, when the army finally falls
You'll see we're just two human beings, not too different after all
All your violence, all your venom
Won't come close to getting rid of me
And at the pearly gates, all those statements you made
Will suddenly be things you didn't really mean
I find it strange to hold such hatred for a stranger
You'll find it strange when I hold kindness to your anger
I find it strange, this shape you mold me into
And you'll find it strange when I forgive you
When I forgive you
