The latest in what is becoming a series of songs inspired by the so-called "Freedom Convoy"- This was written after noticing that the rise of Trumpism has given people the permission to be hateful, malicious and misinformed. The convoy calls themselves as peaceful process but I don't see the love that usually goes with the peace!

lyrics

You’ve made me your enemy
You howl like a wolf at my door
This will never be your victory
Cuz you are fighting the wrong war
You look for someone you can blame
You need to settle up a score
In a game that you can’t name
It isn’t me you’re looking for

When you let love leave your heart
Hate will fill that hole
And that hate will tear us apart
And it will steal your soul

The fabric seems all torn
That once joined this fragile nation
So you honk your horn
and you shout out your frustration
But If you’re shouting I can’t listen
If you’re in my face I cannot see
A way to bridge the icy distance
That stands between you and me

When you let love leave your heart
Hate will fill that hole
And that hate will tear us apart
And it will steal your soul
