Songs and Stories - I Am Intolerant
Channel: Songs and Stories
Date: 2021-01-19

We are all Intolerant, but what do we choose to be Intolerant of.

The "Songs and Stories" channel contains the songwriting and storytelling, mostly, of Jim Herrmann for now. Maybe a song, maybe a story, maybe a story about the making of the song, and maybe a story song.

The lyrics. I release this song to the public domain. Feel free to share, sing, record your own version, whatever. Let me know if you record a version.

I Am Intolerant
JL Herrmann

I am intolerant of intolerance.
I can't condone discrimination here.
I am a stand for love and understanding.
I have no room for hate nor fear.

  If you're the kind to judge another human
  by nothing more than the color of their skin
  I think you'll find I'll do the things that I can
  to expose that stand you can't defend

I am intolerant of intolerance.
I can't condone discrimination here.
I am a stand for love and understanding.
I have no room for hate nor fear.

  If you're afraid or scared of another
  'Cause they don't love the way that you do
  I'm not afraid to call out your mother
  If her fears put those fears in you

I am intolerant of intolerance.
I can't condone discrimination here.
I am a stand for love and understanding.
I have no room for hate nor fear.

  Now if you're God says love one another
  You are free to worship as you choose
  But if your God says hate any other
  You have the freedom to refuse

I am intolerant of intolerance.
I can't condone discrimination here.
I am a stand for love and understanding.
I have no room for hate nor fear.

  Before you post, that Facebook meme
  Before you join, that Twitter stream
  Take a step back, think how does it seem
  Does it sell hate. or is it mean

I am intolerant of intolerance.
I can't condone discrimination here.
I am a stand for love and understanding.
I have no room for hate nor fear.
