V1
You were the bosses son
I was a farmhands daughter
But that didn’t stop our love
Sneaking out to meet you
That drafty barn never felt so warm
Laying in your arms
Praying no one would discover us

Pre: Why is this still happening in 1987
Good thing they never caught own

Ch
I wish we could have turned their hatred into love
So that we could’ve been more open
Never hiding how we feel
With the strength of what we had
Even though we bleed-it’s worth living from the heart
I wish we could have turned their hatred into love

v2
When you asked your dad
About having sex outside your race
He said you can bed them
But never fall in love
So we played the racist game
A girlfriend who looked like you
A boyfriend who looked like me
But in the end we rose above

Ch
I wish we could have turned their hatred into love
So that we could’ve been more open
Never hiding how we feel
With the strength of what we had
Even though we bleed-it’s worth living from the heart
I wish we could have turned their hatred into love

V3
They said we wouldn’t last
That our differences would drive us apart
We took our vows to heart
We proved them wrong
Stood together, weather every storm
With kids and a house built on love
Showing the world how hatred turns into love


Ch
I wish we could have turned their hatred into love
So that we could be together
Never hiding how we feel
With the strength of what we had
Even though we bleed-it’s worth living from the heart
I wish we could have turned their hatred into love
