without someone to love you
you still can be alright
though the ache of loneliness might come
to haunt you late at night
without someone to love you
the sun’s still gonna shine
though the moon might call out louder
saying someone please be mine
for loving is what life is about
just in case you had any doubt
all the money in the world isn’t worth
one moment of true love here on earth
for loving is what we are made for
no matter how well we ignore
the hunger that’s burning inside
it’ll bite you when it is denied
you can distract yourself
with a world full of things
but nothing but love
can play your heart strings
you can try to pretend
just living’s enough
but all you will get
is an outside that’s tough
without someone to love
you can still sing a song
but you know it is better when
someone sings along
without someone to love
you can be a success
but no matter how much you have
you’ll have less
than someone who loves
someone who loves them back
without someone to love
there’s always one thing you lack
with someone to love
nothing else matters as much
with someone to love
you understand human touch
with someone to love
all the other things are out there
with someone to love
all that matters is what you share
without someone to love
you may never understand
with someone to love
you know what is planned
wherever you land
you’ve got the whole world in your hand
give yourself a chance to trust again
and maybe you'll believe in something
maybe you'll believe in someone
give yourself a chance to heal again
and maybe you’ll believe you still can
maybe you will understand
the picture is much bigger than any of us can see
if you believe in any kind of eternity
the invisible man or the science of ecology
the answers are everywhere, you just have to see
give yourself a chance to see again
and maybe you’ll believe in something
maybe you’ll believe in someone
give yourself the chance to live again
and maybe you’ll believe you still can
maybe you will understand
there are no mistakes only opportunities to learn
if you believe there are no ends only chances to begin again
the loneliest people are the ones who let their bridges burn
the truth is always even if you only see it now and then
give yourself a chance to share again
give yourself a chance to care again
give yourself a chance to feel again
and maybe it will all be real again
give yourself a chance to know again
give yourself a chance to grow again
give yourself a chance to flow again
and maybe you will know you know again
how much you can love
even if the whole world seems to be full of hate
how much you can feel
even if the whole world seems to feed on pain
how much you can know
even if the whole world demands ignorance
how much you can be
even if the whole would puts you down
again and again and again
just give yourself a chance…
again and again and again
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?
there was a time when i would write without much thinking
it was a time when i could feel drunk without drinking
adrenaline or endorphins or something magic in my brain
gave birth to endless streams of meaningless refrains
and i would babble to my heart's content
for that was what i loved to do
most times just talking to myself
but always open to welcoming you
for i believed in human kind
when love and trust made miracles
and the innate goodness of the human heart
was real to me…
there was a time…
suddenly solemn
the light flickers painfully
faith stretched so thin it is invisible
how can hope remain in me
for all the broken promises
and all the betrayed trust
condemned to face the funeral
of love conquered by lust
for all the user's cruelty
and all abused by faith
i don't want to give up but i
feel time is growing late
a prophesy may come to pass
self-fulfilled by human pride
the end beckons the ignorant
in species suicide
all my life i cared too much
and all it got me was burned
all my life i shared too much
by now you'd think i'd've learned
all my life i felt too much
the shallow all drifted away
all my life i knew too much
just to piss it all away
there was a time…
there was a time when i would write without much thinking
it was a time when i could feel drunk without drinking
adrenaline or endorphins or something magic in my brain
gave birth to endless streams of meaningless refrains
and i would babble to my heart's content
for that was what i loved to do
most times just talking to myself
but always open to welcoming you
for i believed in human kind
when love and trust made miracles
and the innate goodness of the human heart
was real to me…
there was a time…
suddenly silent…
suddenly still…
suddenly sudden…
and… i… always…. will…
shhhh, you know the thrill
(it's still…
such a thrill)
. . .
all my life i cared too much
and all it got me was burned
all my life i shared too much
by now you'd think i'd've learned
all my life i felt too much
the shallow all drifted away
all my life i knew too much
but fool enough to say...
i love you
one more time
before i go away
I left my heart so long ago
in my imagination
now Deepak talks of imaginal cells
beyond human sensation
and butterflies offer a laugh
as tears drown inspiration
just because nobody near
cares
I left my hope so long ago
in my procrastination
when Gandhi talked of selfless acts
and love's emancipation
I bought into a savior's crossing
with holy proclamation
but all I found was nobody
shares
it's a give and take world with everybody taking
and all my giving leaves me empty inside
it's a disillusioned child with a heart still breaking
still looking for a magic carpet ride
and all the half-hearted efforts to give up
to accept the apathy that is the norm
doesn't seem to work for me, there is no holy cup
that brings me comfort in the current storm
what do you want?
what do you want?
I waste my time with these words
are your ears open?
do your eyes see?
what do you believe is me?
what do you want?
what do you want?
why do you come to these words?
what can you relate to?
do you know what is true?
what do you want to do?
who are you?
and what do you want to do?
I left my dream so long ago
in tortured isolation
now Rumi talks of whirling spells
and holy copulation
and caterpillars shed a tear
for human population
a race lost in lies and despair
fears
I left my faith so long ago
in rational revelation
now holy talk of heaven and hell
is sad self-mutilation
does anyone live without fear?
in innocent elation
laughing at the masks everyone
wears
it's a give and take world with everybody taking
and all my giving leaves me empty inside
it's a disillusioned child with a heart still breaking
still looking for a magic carpet ride
and all the half-hearted efforts to give up
to accept the apathy that is the norm
doesn't seem to work for me, there is no holy cup
that brings me comfort in the current storm
but I don't want to play that game anymore
the happy child inside wants to laugh again
trying to fit in to belong to not be alone
is a waste of time in a world of pretense
so keep your promise of tomorrow
living in your world of sorrow
as if this is not the place to be
you are wasted from the start
when fear and lies fill your heart
truth is nothing when you will not see
how can you be trusted?
when you don't take responsibility
how can you be trusted?
when you condemn your own ecstasy
how can you be trusted?
when you live for some future fantasy
how can you be trusted?
when you ignore your own reality
what do you want?
what do you want?
I waste my time with these words
are your ears open?
do your eyes see?
what do you believe is me?
what do you want?
what do you want?
why do you come to these words?
what can you relate to?
do you know what is true?
what do you want to do?
who are you?
and what do you want to do?
I don't want to be no prophet
I don't want to be no sage
I don't want to be no savior
no guru ahead of my age
I don't want to be no genius
I don't want to be above
I don't want to be no poet
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be in love
I just want to be
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love
in love

I left my love so long ago
in betrayed veneration
self-pity and apathy
replaced inclination
joined the web of wasting time
mental masturbation
acute alliteration
self-mocking frustration
synaptic undulation
irreverent aeration
human beneficiation
rhyming affectation
revered imitation
yeah
yeah
yeah
but after all is said and done
I just want some harmless fun
and to share honesty
in reality
and I just want to share
how much I can care
without fear…
and with
honest appreciation
living jubilation
pure emancipation
free invigoration
true actualization
infinite suaviation
creative inspiration
passionate exultation
and playful relaxation
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
in love
in love - I just want to be
in love
