Lyrics
In a school in Wyoming, Matthew Shepard studied hard,
but they don't understand
all because he loved a man
all because he loved
he stands out, he stands for something
they can't comprehend
all because he loved
we'll take you, we'll break you,
we'll hurt you, we'll hate you
we'll straighten your bones
all because he loved a man
all because he loved
in the dark of night
all the hate comes to light
won't you go home
it happened when night, they were sure they were right
they shut out his cries
tied him to a fence, tied him to a wall
and left him to dieā¦all because, all because
Now witches were burned, there's nothing we've learned
hearts pumping fear
what you hate in someone else is a part of yourself
that you can't bear, all because he loved
now if love is a crime and hate is divine
Then send me to hell
what happens in Laramie could happen to you or me
Matthew Shepard knew it well
Let love have its reign, we won't forget your name
and this is our home
