Changing the face of Love
How many say and swear by the stars up above
That "I am truly madly in love?"
How many people can say everyday?
That you and some person will be together some day
How many people through thick and thin
Stay in relationships in which they lose and never win
And how can so many people not feel deprived
When their love is what they have to give to keep them alive?
How many times did you watch him go?
How large did you envy grow?
When you saw and watched him so
Kissing some girl you didn't even know
And didn't you ever feel the pain
When that guy left you out in the rain?
Yet to him you'll return to in the quickness of a breath
Even if he's with you 'cause there's no one left
How many times did good guys tell her please stay?
You thought you make her happier if she went away
Yet the next day it seems you awaken to find
That she wanted someone else and it's destroying your mind
How much of yourself young girl have you given away?
How many times have you let your feeling sway?
Like flowers in the wind blown by the slightest breeze
When your emotions should be firm and pure like the tallest trees
Not so stiff that they never move
But so they slightly tilt to every grove
And be it so, that no one move can make them turn
Show those guys that your feelings have to be earned
How many times young men did you find it cool to be pimp?
Did you not understand that it makes those girls emotions limp?
To see you go with someone else
Makes them lose all respect for themselves
You think it's cool to just leave her in the dust
But it's you that again she may never ever trust
You're probably thinking think that it's not like that
Everything you do gets left in the past
But it's because of moral incompetence
That we don't see these things move from past to present tense
Because what you did takes sometime to really leave a mark
What you started was a fire and the immorality was a spark
That slowly seeps into the depths of their hearts
This is the point where it all starts
In the youth of the minds though we all think we're grown
The thing that the people before us have shown
Is that degradation of the mind starts at a young age
That you can be dead mentally before you even turn a page
A page in the book of your life
Start deciding who's right
Because if you don't set your standards high now
They'll never be high in the future and somehow
You'll wonder why you got here and why you're living your life in fear
Why you're spouse is so bad that every time you speak you're shedding a tear
I'm not saying that love's all wrong
I'm not saying that love's just some shallow song
All I'm saying I that if you don't do it right then it might not last long
I'd say fix it up tonight so you still got breath left to sing that last song
Hope you realize it's not just my emotions I'm trying to convey
Stuff like this happens to people each and every day
And now what in the end no matter what you believe or what you say
Things like this, without action they won't go away
So let's start thinking smarter, let's start trying harder
Because sweet people everyday are just getting tarter
They say where there are no good women there can be no good men
And hell I'm not even going to go try and pretend
That it's easy not to practice the sin of lust
When girls are wearing things so tight they're about to bust
Half they look pretty when they dress nice any way
And if you're not looking for then put the sexy clothes away
Cause if you're in love with some body
They think they deserve your body
So stop showing of that body
Unless you're really trying to attract somebody
So let's start thinking smarter, let's start trying harder
Because sweet people everyday are just getting tarter
We change relation
Across the whole nation
It's no new sensation
Let's stop the degradation
Mahatma Gandhi said if you start with you self healing will multiply
So let's start with ourselves so when can open each others eyes
And show that that we're better that dirt
You can get through a relationship without hurt
Not abandoning the name
Still playing the game
Just not playing it the same
So we can get through love without feeling the pain
Call it L-O-V-E love, but make it simpler, and make it less wrong
So you still have breath left to sing that last song
Hope you get the message
