Ain't It About Time?

Hungry for love

Starving for truth

Awaiting to be wanted

Searching for proof

Tossing the pebbles, watching the ripples run.

 

Open my heart

To someone's trust

Trying not to be dazzled

By a last chance for lust

Dispelling the myth that someone always ends up hurting someone.

 

Ain't it about time we learned how to live together?

Ain't it about time we carried each others heart?

I think that it's a crime not giving each other the gifts we were meant to give.

If love is all we need, ain't it about time we start?

 

Leaving old baggage

By the side of the road

Streamlining hearts

Lightening our load

Remembering to forget what we did not want to learn.

 

Looking for signs

Thinking we know

Planting the seeds

Hoping they'll grow

Blindly we watch, impatiently awaiting our turn.
