divine

hey look at me
even after all this time
I am still dreaming
and still coming to rhyme
believing in the love
I felt when you were mine
and that keeps love alive
and keeps me in touch with the divine

I've watched many others giving up
crumbling under years of loneliness
forgetting how good it felt to love
focused on how bad it feels to be so lonely
why choose that way
when you can choose to remember love?

I've watched many others giving in
to escapes to the surface emptiness
forgetting the hunger they bury deep inside
as if it goes away just because we hide
it so well, hey
what do you think happens to the love?

love is energy that matters
and matter can not be destroy
just open any science textbook
or the holy book of your choice

you'll find they both have the same answers
it is elementary school knowledge
and it's ironic how we learn to forget
the basics by the time we get through college

is it so painful to keep a heart open
what's the worst that can happen
the trust does not work out?

well for me it's worse to lose the ability
to love and trust – I won't let that happen
cuz that is what this life is all about

so look at me
even after all this time
I am still dreaming
and still coming to rhyme
believing in the love
I felt when you were mine
and that keeps love alive
and keeps me in touch with the divine

and I can still fall in love at first sight
and I can still feel...
oh I can still feel...
and love can still be as real
as it was the very first time

love is energy eternal
the touch of the cosmic wind
the holiest of the holies
where every god story begins

and no matter how well you deny it
it is all around us now
and you can still be part of it
if you just let yourself feel...
you'll remember how

hey look at you
even after all this time
you are still dreaming
and still coming to rhyme
believing in the love
you felt when you were mine
and that keeps love alive
and keeps you in touch with the divine
keep love alive
and life will always be divine
