THE NEED TO KNOW, HOW TO MAKE LOVE GROW
AND HOW TO GET FROM POINT A TO B
IT'S RARELY A LINE, AND IT TAKES TIME
TO FIND THE PATH YOU CAN'T SEE

YOU OFTEN GET LOST AND EACH TIME AROUND
SOME THINGS YOU HAVE FOUND TO BE CERTAIN
TRAILS BECOME CROSSED AND OLD DREAMS ARE FOUND
AND EACH TIME IT DOES YOU ARE HURT'N

EACH STEP SEEMS IN VAIN, EACH TAKEN WITH PAIN
AND SOONER OR LATER YOU RUN
THE FASTER YOU GET, THE MORE YOU FORGET
AND THE QUICKER YOUR LIFE IS DONE

YOU NEED TIME TO HEAL, FOR TIME TAKES IT'S TOLL
AND IT'S "TIME" THAT YOU NEED ON YOUR SIDE
TO KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL, WHAT IS DEEP IN YOUR SOUL
YOU MUST STOP RUNNING FROM WHAT IS INSIDE

TO SLOW THE RACE, TO FIND YOUR PLACE
AND A CHANCE TO BE FREE FROM WITHIN
OPEN YOUR HEART, UNDERSTAND YOUR PART
AND THESE WORDS WILL HELP YOU BEGIN ..

THERE'S MANY TO BLAME AND LOTS TO FORGIVE
BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE TO LIFE THAN SURVIVAL
THE GOAL'S ARE THE SAME , A REASON TO LIVE
AND NOW IS THE TIME FOR TRUTHS' ARRIVAL

THE NEED FOR LOVE WE ALL HAVE IN COMMON
BUT ALWAYS TO BE FULLFILLED UPON CONDITION
REMOVE THIS MUST IN LIFE AND THEN
YOUR LOVE WILL GROW WITHOUT PERMISSION

DO NOT PRETEND ON THE FACT YOU DEPEND
ON SOME KIND OF EXTERNAL SOURCE
THIS GIVES YOU COMMAND, THE RIGHT TO DEMAND
THE CHANGES THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON COARSE

BUT CONTROL OVER LIFE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED
THE FREEDOM AS A CHILD TO REMEMBER
REVISIT OLD THOUGHTS & WHAT YOU BELIEVED
THEN GIVE UP YOUR HATE,
AND LET FATE BE YOUR MENDER

THERE'S NO NEED FOR BLAME SO LET IT ALL GO
FORGIVENESS IS NOT ONE OF YOUR FEARS
FEELING THE SHAME WILL ALLOW YOU TO GROW
AND THE HUMBLENESS WILL FOLLOW THE TEARS

ACCEPTANCE IS VITAL, APPRECIATION REQUIRED
THE KEYS FOR CLEANING THE SLATE
THERE IS NO DENIAL, SATISFACTION ACQUIRED
WHEN CHOOSING TO UNLOCK THIS GATE

A DREAM MAKER, A GIVE OR TAKER
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THE SOUL YOU KEEP
TO BE A LOVER, FOR YOURSELF THEN ANOTHER
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS WHAT YOU SEEK

A NEW DREAM..
MORE PEACEFUL AND SERENE THAN ONE'S GONE BY
LEARN TO LOVE LIFE WITHOUT HAVING TO ASK WHY
