I want love...

to take me out to dinner
to introduce me to her mother
to be my only lover

I want love...

to be the sweet fragrance on the breeze
to share her childhood memories
to smile when she sees me

I want love...

to bring about a change
in public hold my hand
to be the one who understands

I want love...

to be the warmth inside the sweater
the one to make it better
in any kind of weather

I want love...

to be that special moment
to know what I want
and when I want it

I want love...

to be the morning new
the glistening of the dew
the yellow sun in sky of blue

I want love...

...to be you

Can you tell me, where does love go?

If there's no one to hold its hand
No one to bring it comfort
No one to understand

Can you tell me, where will love stay?

If its home is a broken heart
When the only place it's ever known
Is now all boarded up

Can you tell me why love cries?

Like an orphan on the street
That just lost all it has ever known
And all it will ever be

Can you tell me, where will love go?

When it no longer can be seen
Does it have a special place it hides
Besides my memory

You say that you are "Catholic"
What exactly does that mean
You eat fish on Friday
Instead of eating meat?

You say that you are "Baptist"
And the Bible is the infallible truth
I don't see how that is possible
In the actions that you choose

You say that you are "Jewish"
One of Gods chosen few
I never would have guessed that
By much of what you do

You say that you are "Muslim"
And that you pray three times a day
I'm not sure that helps that much
Watching what you do and say

I'm not here to bash religions
That's not what I mean to do
Just want to open up some eyes
And myself I will include

We talk up a good religious game
Then live our lives like hell
And that's what an unbelieving world my friend
Simply finds unbelievable

patience, a virtue
self-patience, a virtual
gotta work on that...
