**** doesn’t always hide
At parties and outside clubs
**** doesn’t always hide
In dark alleys and empty parking lots
Sometimes it is right in front of you
But you choose to look the other way
**** doesn’t always hide
Behind the faces of strangers in the night
Sometimes it is hiding behind the closed doors
Of your uncles
Cousins
Fathers
And brothers
**** isn’t always loud-
Screaming, yelling, and crying
Sometimes **** is quiet-
Gasping for air and silent tears

Walk down this path with me,
lets sing our songs so new,
oh sweetness, love is a flower
in the middle of an Island, made
of dreams, and promises.

How could life go on without
love, it would be so empty
cold, and blue, all of nature
would never be as beautiful
as it is today if not for God.

Raise your hands in the name
of love, it lives in the heart of
all of us, lets pull the trigger,
let it shoot, around the world
blooming with freshness, wonder
and miracles.

Lets praise the glory of the Lord
we have it, he gave it to us when
we were born, love so grand, so
wonderful, full of luster given to
to us from Our Heavenly Father
above.

Come walk with me down
my path, lets sing, lets laugh,
lets cry in happiness, love
could never be so blissful
an new.

Upon each stem a flower
blooms so wondrously, be it
wild or tame, each is very
special all their own, inspiration
flourishing with mystery an
wonderment.
