Who You Love

“WHO YOU LOVE”

Yesterday it hit me like a train

How many years did I ignore?

Wrote poetry of love in vain

My boat had barely left the shore

Now I know you and I know me

And I don't care what they think

I awoke from a walking dream

Now my boat will never sink



Why do they lie to us?

Why are we born with such unflinching trust?

Hating us is so unjust

If you love someone you must love them



So love who you love

There's no choice when it's natural

So love who you love

Make the truth actual

They're just afraid of something that God made

His children



Yesterday I wondered to myself

How could they lie to us for so long?

Forcing us to put or love lives on the shelf

What feels right is really wrong

Now I know me and I know you

Why would we choose the abuse?

Soon they'll awake and believe the truth

And it will set so many free



Why do they fight with us?

We are all born with a unique lust

Hating us is so unjust

If you love someone then you must love them
