lyrics

I’ve learned to survive, I can make my stand against the crowd, but all my toughness wasn’t what I wanted when wanted to make you proud. I know we’ve got a good thing going in between these four walls, but I know it makes you sad to look outside and see our love doesn’t conquer all.

I want the world to be just what you want it to be because you’ve got truth, justice and beauty. That’s what it’s all about, and you can’t be a lover and see someone do without.

We’ve all got to call on each other not to let our dreams become too small, not to live as if it’s all for one, when it’s got to be one for all. It’s no land of the free where we’re only free to be each other’s slaves. It’s no land of the free where we are only free to dig each other’s graves.

I want the world to be just what you want it to be if you’ve got truth, justice and beauty because your dreams should be as impossible as the one that you love is impossibly lovable.

Don’t want no new frontier. We’ve got to want to make it here.

I’d really rather not be a martyr for a cause, but I know I’m called to love you flawlessly in this world with all its flaws. I’m no saint, I know I fall and fail every day, but I’m going to break myself down for this love I can’t betray.

And that’s a love I’ve got to love for all that it’s worth because that’s the love that moves heaven and earth.
