[Verse 1] There's a sign outside the meeting Says, "All voices welcome here." So I pulled a chair up to the table, Thinking that was pretty clear They said, "Bring your own perspective. We believe in being free." Then they handed me the answers To the questions they asked me [Chorus] Tolerance, tolerance Terms and conditions apply We're all for your right to speak If your thinking matches mine Bring your story, bring your colors Bring your flag and hold it high Leave your questions at the doorway— Terms and conditions apply [Verse 2] I said, "I see it differently. Would you like to hear me out?" They said, "We know your point already. That's what this warning's about." Hadn't even finished speaking When they showed me where to go That's a mighty open doorway With a bouncer saying no [Verse 3] Put your chair beside my table You don't have to think like me We can talk about our differences Without making enemies I won't ask you for a password Or a slogan at the door You can keep your own convictions That's what listening is for [Chorus] Tolerance, tolerance Terms and conditions apply We're all for your right to speak If your thinking matches mine Bring your story, bring your colors Bring your flag and hold it high Leave your questions at the doorway— Terms and conditions apply [Verse 4] Jesus didn't say to love The ones who vote like you He said to love your neighbor— And He meant the hard ones too Truth can stand a little daylight God can handle being asked If your peace needs me kept silent, That ain't peace that's gonna last [Bridge] Disagreement ain't a threat Love ain't finished with us yet You can keep your point of view— I just want the same from you [Final Chorus] Tolerance, tolerance Terms and conditions apply We're all for your right to speak If your thinking matches mine Bring your story, bring your colors Bring your flag and hold it high Leave your questions at the doorway— Terms and conditions apply [Outro] "All voices welcome." Read the little sign "Just bring your own opinion— As long as it's mine."
