Understanding

Though they try to tear you down
When insults and calamities abound
I wish that they would let you be
That they could see the joy I see
Ti capisco, mon ami

When the world has gotten wild
And no one can agree
Adults become the petulant child
Ti capisco, mon ami

So when you feel sad or blue
When you want to be free
The words I speak are always true
Ti capisco, mon ami

Together

I see the path before me lying
I admit I couldn't before
I want to be there for your sorrow
That's what partners are for
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

The pattern is so clear now
As wheels unwind and turn
Were you to light the match
I'd simply watch the world burn
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

When our secrets are discovered
And all the world seems lost
We will burn together
No matter how high the cost
I understand. I bear your burdens gladly.

But when the tide is changing
And all the lights are pale
Will you stand beside me,
To finish the drawn out tale?
Do you understand? Will you bear my burdens gladly?

Vows

Vows

We all need love

We live by Honor

We strive to obey

But we struggle to obey

We fail because we love

It stains our honor

How can we understand honor?

When we only try to obey?

The struggle comes from trying to love

Because with Love, we choose to honor and obey

Purgatory

She wears him like a badge

An honor to be boasted

A feather in her crown

For a queen she surely is

Never a hair out of place

Or a word that is misspoken

She never does anything

To make a person frown

I can’t find fault with her

And trust me I’ve been looking

I understand her pain

He’s always on my mind

But who can compete

With runway gods and models

I’ll have to look for love

Down here in purgatory

Us sinners in the real world

Must keep among ourselves
