It seems to me the way to be
Reaching for the skies until I'm numb
I beat myself up, tie it down
Don't ever let it lift me from the ground

I'll let no harm take over me
And I'll make the plans disappear
'till love is all I have to live for

He told me not to smile like this
For all I know there's danger at my door
I haven't slept at all
I feel my bones are giving up
I fear the worst

I have to talk to her again
No help will come from her again
She'll say love is all I have to care for

If only God had some ideas to share
If He would put them on a book

My dusty window says, "No funny jokes today"
The morning isn't mine
I put a silly shirt on
Pray that it will keep me safe from being killed

I never go outside at night
They're out there waiting with a knife
I live in fear that I will die
She says love is all
The rest is on my mind
