IN THE NAME OF LOVE

In the name of love why’d you think that she was screaming
In the name of love you hit out at your child
In the name of love it’s your fear and ignorance you fight
We turn love into a weapon when it’s only love can make things right
Don’t love the hate that’s going to kill us all in the name of love

In the name of love well you give away a little money
In the name of love you bow down to monuments
In the name of love it’s your fear and ignorance you fight
We turn love into a weapon when it’s only love can make things right
Don’t love the hate that’s going to kill us all in the name of love

In the name of love you let them strip away your freedom
In the name of love ah you let them shoot you with their lies
In the name of love you played your part on Krystal Night
We turn love into a weapon when it’s only love can make things right
Your love the hate that’s going to kill us all in the name of love

In the name of love all in the name of love
All in the name of love all in the name of love
All in the name of love
Ah don’t let love remain a weapon oh it’s the hate that’s going to kill us
All in the name of love all in the name of love
All in the name of love all in the name of love

LITTLE GOD

Hey Little God what’s the word we’re all just trying to cope
Crying for passion for peace and for life hard to see through the smoke
Hey Little God what’s the buzz why won’t you fix up this mess
From way down here we just haven’t a chance or is this your cosmic test
I know the story that keeps goin’ round about your justice your glory your love
But what is the point when our young have no food
What is the use if our air is no good
Could this be really the way that it should
I thing something’s gone wrong oh yeah something’s gone wrong

Oh where do we go from here I don’t know where
How do we find our way I don’t know how
What do we need to do
We must go on we’re all confused
We must confess we have to choose
We must believe we must believe we must believe

Hey Little God what’s the truth I sure hope that you’re there
You must admit we’ve good reason to doubt and it fills us up with despair
Hey Little God who hid our souls I’m sure hoping that you know
If you’re not sure they may never be found and if they’re lost then you’ll have to go
I know the story that keeps goin’ round about your justice your glory your love
But what is the point in the death of a child
What is the use if our hatred runs wild

Could this be really what you had on file
I think something’s gone wrong oh yeah something’s gone wrong

Hey yeah where do we go from here
Oh where do we go from here
Hey oh where do we go
Oh where do we go now
Oh where do we go
Oh where do we go now

TURN OFF THE LIGHT

I look around at everyone spinning goin’ ‘round so fast they can’t see
You think I’m losing if I’m not winning please don’t lay your conditions on me
It’s such a crime to live for the future missing this cuz you’re thinking of that
I don’t care if you think I’m a loser I’m just glad you got everything down pat

I ain’t content to sit on the sidelines counting sheep ‘til the cows come home
I ain’t no fuck up and I ain’t no crazy don’t give me shit or I’ll hang up the phone
Don’t want to live my life like I’m stealing somethin’ that don’t belong to me
I’ll take what’s mine and I’ll take it with feeling now get out of here or let me be free
I see you’re going now so turn off the light

My ears are closed to what you are saying my eyes are open to what you do
Your play is work and my work’s only playing you don’t have to tell me what that means to you
I don’t know what exactly I’m doing I’m still alive somebody must care
There’s just nobody I’ve got to fooling I think it’s too bad if you got to be there

cancer (for A.B.)

I’ve loved you for such a long time you are my shining star
I don’t need much but I do need your touch
And I do need your heart with mine
I’ve hated feeling so helpless how I wish I could take your pain
But all I can do is to keep loving you all the time that we have between us

So hold on a little bit longer
I know you’ll be okay
Hold fast don’t you get lost
Your fight’s almost through and I’ve got to tell you
I miss us

Oh what a hard and strange ordeal something no one could predict
But life’s like this along comes a twist
And your once normal world’s now unreal
I miss the way we were and I’ll be waiting for when
There’ll come the day no matter what may
And we’ll be together again

So hold on a little bit longer
I know you’ll be okay
Hold fast don’t you get lost
Your fight’s almost through and I’ve got to tell you
I miss us

So hold on a little bit longer
I know you’ll be okay
Hold tight don’t you get lost
Your fight’s almost through and I’ve got to tell you
I miss us

WALKING AWAY

Once I was excited something grew inside
Now I’m just divided oh how hard I’ve tried
I can’t admit to failure sorry’s not my way
And though I often seem sure I’m lying every day

Oh I’ve got this feeling surrounds me with regret
I’m living with a memory I know I must forget
I’m in love but I’m walking away
I’m in love but I’m walking away

I just keep avoiding things I can’t explain
Sometimes it’s annoying sometimes I cry with pain
So try and understand it it’s not that I don’t care
It’s just that there’s this fear here and that I cannot shed

Oh I got this aching I breathe it like the air
I don’t want to lose you I know that isn’t fair
I’m in love but I’m walking away
I’m in love but I’m walking away

Oh yes I listen to your laughter I feel your soothing touch
I see you tremble with each tear it’s just too much
No I can’t give you what you want I know you think I’m cruel
And when you’re hurt I watch you bleed I stand there like a fool

Cuz I’m in love but I’m walking away
I’m in love but I’m walking away
I’m in love
