You there for the word.
For truth and wisdom of growth.
But you're held hostage for their views.

Like you can't hold one of your own.
All because the minister or ministers think you're controlled.
They preach it's against God's law.

You are just a hostage according to them.
Trying to brain wash you into agreeing with them.
Sometimes they manipulate, all on one accord.

See no evil, speak no evil goes out the door.
Especially if you're the president supporting laws upon the books.
They blame this and that upon him.

But Congress controls mainly what goes through.
Question opinions of those trying to preach and control.
Be willing to disagree at the appropriate time.

All life requires, is you to open your eyes.
Freedom to choose should stay alive.
Even a held hostage seeks freedom, to have an open mind.

Thou shalt never love another.
Famous words of a romantic song.
Spoken truth to the one you love.

To thee, I give you, my heart.
To thee, I give you, my love.
It be filled with warmth and tenderness.
Leave an impression that I will miss you so much.

To thee, you my first thought each day.
And I won't have it any other way.
Which why I love you every second, minute, hour of the day.

I gave you everything of me I could.
And to this day it's still no good.
I just can't give you anymore.

I went the distance of love and affection.
Stay by your side for protection.
Still, you felt no satisfaction.
So, what are you truly after?

Cause it's not love.
You can't make me believe it was.
I just know I can't give you anymore.

They say love built on understanding of one another needs.
But concerning you it's a whole different thing.
And now, when I'm ready to leave.
You say you are willing to change.

I don't believe it.
I don't even see it.
I just know I can't take it anymore.

Don't believe, what you hear.
Oh, no-don't you believe what you read.
Unless I tell you, most will be rumors ad allegations.
Just to gather attention.

Ask yourself?
Do you know the real story?
Or going by something someone told you.
And many just attention seekers.

Sure, there is no guarantee I tell you everything.
Because in truth I just might be at blame.
So, unless I honestly tell you, you only going by rumors and allegations.

So, ask yourself?
Truly ask yourself.
Do you know the real story?
Especially if it concerns me.

Just put yourself in my shoes.
Would you accept someone talking lies about you?

Yes, somethings should be told.
Then some secrets never, never at all.

Who makes me smile?
You love.
Who makes my life shines?
You love.
You're wonderful.
You're beautiful.

Who put my mind at ease?
You love.
Who warms me with hugs.
You love.

Just your embrace drives all worries away.
And the look within your eyes of confidence makes this love we share so special.

You love has the power.
To command my soul and spirit because your love already has my mind.

Not too many can say I don't love you a certain way.
Then I ever loved another.
But you a special kind of lover.

And not too many can say I treat you a certain way.
But you special in many ways.
Then any other I have known.

And my life has changed in so many ways.
Just seeing you smile lighten up my days.
And I am only telling you just what needed at the right time?

So, it's true not too many can say I don't love you.
It's in my eyes.
It's in my smile.
It's in my speech.
Shown more when you're in reach.

Still proud.
Still great even among wars and mistakes.
Welcome to America.

Dreams come true if you apply yourself.
A country always willing to help.
Maybe a little too much.
Still, welcome to America.

You'll find cultural conflicts.
And see new immigrants bringing their problems here too.
Except, our soldiers not your country patrol troops.

Where many foreigners on vistas think we are?
Heck, we have inner problems too to solve.
Folks forget seeking peace isn't so hard.

Then you have ruthless men that will start hatred all over again.

Still, welcome to America.
Turn all your problems over to God.
