I destroy homes.
I tear families apart,
I’ll take your children and that is just the start.
If you need me I’m easily found
I’m all around you in every city and every town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor.
I live down the street, even next door.
My power is awesome, try me,
you'll see;
but if you do, you may never
break free.
Just try me once and I might let
you go.
But if you try me twice,
then i'll own your soul.

Your love was like sunshine,
slowly warming my soul until
it burned to a crisp.
My love was like moonlight,
usually hidden, but on the
right night, showered you
in a full glow.
I love you darling,
you are a work of art.
I love spending time with you.
I could be with you
for an hour, a day,
a year, for ever,
and not get bored.

Look inside yourself;
down the road that you travel.
How far have you come?
And how much do you really know?
Just like moons and like suns
with the certainity of tides,
just like hopes of springing high
still i'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
weakened by my soulful cries.
You may shoot me with your words,
you may cut me with your eyes,
you may **** me with your hatefulness
but still like air
*i'll rise
