Hawk Nelson Rocks! I'm sick of people saying that they are too fake and couldn't play their way out of a wet paper bag! This song is kind of weird, I totally get the message, but the Pariament thing is wacked. What we have not is Congress, House of Representatives, and a Senate. They must get the Parliament thing from CAnada.

By the way Tracey 18..... the verse is: 1 John 3:15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. basically saying that if you hate someone its as good as killing them and that no murderer that hasnt repented cant go to heaven. 1 2 Next

i dont get how they say, Same-sex marriage in a state where they don’t care Murder is wrong but the jail time’s unfair are they saying that same-sex marriage is wrong and that murder is ok?

imsoscenex10, I think when they say "Murder is wrong but the jail time's unfair" they are really talking about how some murderers get off with less time than they really deserve. I'm not really sure though, it's a kind of confusing lyric.

i think the murder part is about abortions (i dont know if they're for or against them.) && for the same-sex marriage part, i thought instead of "state", they said "same"....w/e..

i agree with myheartisdead, the line about the jail time being unfair is sarcasm.

I think this song is rather amazing. The reason why they are stating if they are brave is because in Canada preaching the Word is hate speech. The singer is saying he'd like to tell his government they aren't governing correctly based on his Christian views, but he is afraid of being prosecuted. Thus, "If I was brave I’d write a letter to the president And hove him pass it to the leaders of our parliament But for now I won’t say nothing"

In response to imsoscenex10, I think the "murder is wrong but the jail time's unfair" part is referring to how people think that life for muder, or the death sentence, is wrong. Not that gay marriage is worse than murder. Or at least that's how I see it. :-)

I love Hawk Nelson! They're even better in concert! I always get confused on this song. But StillAfloat's explanation really makes sense. He wants to say something but he doesn't want to be prosecuted. Mucho thanks to you!

We do have a parliment, we just dont call it that. We used to call it a parliment when we were still under British rule. But now, we have basically the same government type as Britian, a parliment. Its kinda confusing, but i think u get the point.. I like this song, Bush needs to give the schools more money...

I think that they where saying that the jail time isn't long enough. Like, if you have a good lawyer you can get off with less than someone who didn't. But i'm not sure about the same-sex marraige thing. Maybe they're saying that they are against it or maybe they are saying that one desision is better than no desisionat all. Hence the whole "In a state where tey don't care." But i'm not really sure

well this is a Christian band so im thinking that they're against abortions. i never thought of the lyric that way tho. i always thought it meant that the jail time was too long. i know that sounds weird but somewhere in the bible it says that if you hate someone your murdering them in your heart. and so i think the band means that we've all messed up before, we've all hated someone, so its not fair that just because you killed someone you have to be in jail for life? that sounds weird now that i typed it out. and also the same sex marriage thing- i think they're against that to, being as they're a christian band.

Um slight problem with the fact that they put same sex marriage in the same category as murder and date rape, unless im reading it wrong.
