is not a mystery you see,
it's the most wonderful feeling a person can have
"letting go" naturally
it should come so easy for us
it's something that most of us need,
but power comes in, along with the rest
insecurity, self-centeredness, greed
we throw away love, toss it aside
forget when it's our turn to give
not making the sacrifices necessary
for the reward the "reason we live"
we live our lives to give our love
"love thy neighbor" we're told,
but it doesn't always happen that way
people are cruel and cold
until, of course, you're lucky enough
to find an absolute love
who protects you and respects you
thinks you're an angel sent from above
one who, of all the people in this cruel, cold world
thinks of YOU above all others
who stands by your side no matter what
against ememies, sisters and brothers
a warning to you though, "it's selfish"
at least according to what has been said,
but consider that source, this information comes
with whom are they breaking bread?
don't give in to what others say
give your all to the one you love,
set aside those that don't really care
God sent YOU this gift from above
never to be the cause of pain
to the one you've chosen to keep,
let the love pour out of you freely
an absolute love, so true and so deep
the reward for love is being loved
it's as easy as it seems,
love whole-heartedly, with all of your soul
an absolute love is not just found in dreams
take it, hold it,
never let it go,
YOU will experience the happiness
YOU were meant all of your life to know
