wrap

and if i wrap myself around you
would you melt into my soul
would you wriggle as if resisting
only to enjoy the rub

and if you wrap yourself around me
would it be losing control
would you deny conscious choices
like the ring around the tub

how many times will you turn away
from the obvious experience you deny every day
how many times will you run and hide
from the euphoric experience you can know inside
when you come inside

holy men have haunted you for years
challenging your passion and your pain
so afraid of feeling that they condemn feeling real
drinking your tears, washing your brain, killing your zeal
until you don't know how you feel or if you feel
or what is real

and if i wrap myself around you
would you understand a thing
would you play the social game boy
fingering all the right keys

and if you wrap yourself around me
would you want a wedding ring
would you place rules and conditions
on the birds and the bees

how many times will you play the fool
in the natural experience that you try to rule
how many times will you play the game
exchanging love and peace for guilt and shame
and laying the blame

on holy men ahead of you for years
feeding you false hope between their lies
so afraid of living that they fixate on despair
and death as cheers pretend the fears are all you share
until you don't know how to care or why you're here
or who cares

time enough for love
if you live so long
answers wait for you
just like this song
all you have to do
is open your mind
the truth is there
where's it's always been
while you look elsewhere
instead of within
fear has made you blind
to your own mind
no wonder you think
life is unkind

and if i wrap myself around you
what would it mean?
was it all a dream?

love is old, love is new

I smell in places she's yet to
let anyone else explore
as a body ages it
helps youth close the door
cultural stereotyping
or natural instinct win out
doing what I'm supposed to do
is just not what I'm about

so I'll let her love me
if that's what she wants to do
whatever anyone else believes
I'll believe her love is true
and if that makes me
an old fool or something worse
don't let it worry you
let it be my curse

and I'll tell you everything in the next verse

she is my blessing
she is my dream
she is everything
and if you don't know what I mean

you've never lived
you've never loved
and I can only
hope you do
before you reach your heaven above

or you missed the point of life
have faith in truth my friend
if you don't love like this in this life
and your god is kind
you'll get to try again

and it doesn't matter how old we are
or if we are women or men
when you find the one who is everything
you know your journey can end
you reach a place where fear of judgment no longer wins
and that, my friends, is where it all begins

so let her love you
if that's what she wants to do
whatever anyone else believes
believe her love is true
and if that makes you
an old fool or something worse
don't let it worry you
let the whole world curse

and understand the truth in the next verse

she is your blessing
she is your dream
she is everything
and if you know what I mean

you've know you've lived
you've know you've loved
and you can only
hope they do
before they reach their heaven above

or they've missed the point of life
have faith in truth my friend
if they don't love like this in this life
and their god is kind
they'll get to try again

to actualize the truth in the next verse

she is the blessing
she is the dream
she is everything
and when you know what it mean

you know you've lived
you know you've loved
and you can know you
have finally
reached your heaven above

right here, right now, in this life
have faith in truth my friend
if you love like this in this life time
you know your god is kind
and you'll get to love again
and again and again

you know your love is kind
and true
and you'll love again and again

you know your love is kind
and true
and you'll love again and again
love again and again
love will never end
if you
believe in love
and love again and again
and love again and again
and love again and again
