Love Strong

[Peace]

He’s moping and scrubbing. Why?
She’s chatting and smiling. Why cry?
He’s studying and sipping. Why comply?
She’s a hockey fan. Why?

Why are you anxious for something?
Why are they’re lookin’ out for you? Why spy?
You’re backpedaling. Why?
Why are they all coming in now? Why? Why? Why pry?

We all want a simple song. (Truth has been confused.
We all want to get along. Simplicity refused.
We all want to just belong. This trust has been abused.
We all want to know right from wrong. So how am I to love,
We all want to love and be loved strong. And be loved strong?)

He’s purchasing sweetness.
Why is he paying for a pick-me-up? Why try?
She’s naturally pretty, she’s socially shy.
She’s glazed her smile on. Why lie? Why lie?

We all want a simple song. (Truth has been confused.
We all want to get along. Simplicity refused.
We all want to just belong. This trust has been abused.
We all want to know right from wrong. So how am I to love,
We all want to love and be loved strong. And be loved strong?)

The moment is trapped now in all of our clothes,
Where we’re all going we’re standing in rows.
Right now we’re waiting, biding our time.
The daylight is fading. Why? Why? Why?

We all want a simple song. (Truth has been confused.
We all want to get along. Simplicity refused.
We all want to just belong. This trust has been abused.
We all want to know right from wrong. So how am I to love,
We all want to love and be loved strong. And be loved strong?)
