Lyrics to Song: No Hesitation
To Raoul Wallenberg

Words and music: Ben Olander

My word sits right in his heart,
Like a thorn from a poisonous hedge
And forces friendship to pain
As an injuring splitting wedge.

Let there be no hesitation
For me to be brave
Enough to heal the wounds
That I viciously gave.
And regret my bad deeds
When I was caught in a hollering herd
That led me by dark fraud
And hoaxes so blurred.

When they’re harassing a friend
Sheltered by each other’s butts
And they’ve gathered in a threatful mob,
I’ll take my share of flak.
Cause I’ll stand by his side
And scatter them into dust.
Using honest words as my sword,
They shall vanish in a gust.

Let there be no hesitation
For me to be brave
Enough to heal the wounds
That I viciously gave.
And regret my bad deeds
When I was caught in a hollering herd
That led me by dark fraud
And hoaxes so blurred.

From history we’ve learned;
He who turns evil to good
Is he who was never in doubt
But courageously stood
On the barricade to lead us
To think straight, free and bright
And not to tag after those
Who just separate black from white.
