lyrics

(With a bow to and a pivot from Algernon Charles Swinburne)

From too much love of living
From hopes and dreams set free
We thank with breath thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be

Cause everyone is broken
And everyone is whole
And in these narrow places
Hold on to your soul

So close your eyes and listen
Your road unfolds and glistens
Being here is a reason
If reason need there be
Cause no one lives forever
And fortunes rise up never
And even the slowest river
Winds ever to the sea

So waste no lifetime striving
The earth doesn’t try to turn
Just being here and loving
And let your fire burn

And why scan the horizon
For flaws in the sun risin’
Easy come the blessings
If your heart can turn

So close your eyes and listen
Your road unfolds and glistens
Being here is a reason
If reason need there be
Cause no one lives forever
And fortunes rise up never
And even the slowest river
Winds ever to the sea
Even the slowest river
Winds ever to the sea
~
We were made for love
We were made for love
We were made for love
We were made for love

Remember what we came here for
It was not for hate, it was not for war
‘Cause it isn’t a war game,
A more game, a score game
If gimme is your name
There’s too much to lose
We get confused
Forget to choose a way that gets us to better
We’ve done this forever
And we don’t remember
We’re in this together
And we were made for love

We were made for love
We were made for love
We were made for love
We were made for love

Remember what we came here for
Hold on to this connection
It’s all that we are
We got the grace and vision
From the sacred medicine
Transform the condition
It’s a soul expedition—listen

Hearts in darkness in need of healing
Occupy and magnify the loving feeling
Can’t name it, tame it, contain or explain it
But raise up the flame for it
Cause we were made for love

We were made for love
We were made for love
We were made for love
We were made for love

Remember what we came here for
What we came here for…
