One More Mile

If I can look at you with longing,

But can't find admiration,

There's no reason to begin.

If we played at it like lovers

Substituting passion,

Far too Empty'd be the sin.

And I want

So much more - than that!

To believe, to love, to share!

Inspire me with your wonders, and

The depth your soul can bare!

If the Day ends with your gentle touch

And the night falls on your smile,

And all the hours in-between

I've got your your heart, and soul, and style

Then I'll Beg the chance

To walk together one more mile.

 

 

 

Some search for redemption

Me, I just want forgiveness

From the evils that I've been

Somewhere inside a child who

Huddles in the darkness

Prays for daylight to begin.

But I want

So much more - than that!

To believe, to love, to share!

Inspire me with your wonders, and

The depth your soul can bare!

If the Day ends with your gentle touch

And the night falls on your smile,

And all the hours in-between

I've got your your heart, and soul, and style

Then I'll Beg the chance

To walk together one more mile.

 

Every life's a journey

Each step a destination

From the first until the end

A voyage filled with meaning

Must drink in condemnations

Yet contribute as it bends!

 

On certain days the passage

Seems to take forever

Look again, a decade's gone.

Revel in the rhythms

Regrets and triumphs never, well they

Just don't seem to last for very long...

They just don't seem to matter very long...

They just don't seem to matter very long...
