From the dawn of time, <br />We've been telling the same old lies, <br />Closing our ears to the women's cries, <br />And our hearts to the children's sighs, <br /> <br /> Did love ever make you sing? <br /> Like an eagle on the wing! <br /> Did it ever bring your heart alive? <br /> How else can we all survive? <br /> <br />When will we be able to learn? <br />To put down that devils urn, <br />And all our promises to keep, <br />Before our hearts weep, <br /> <br /> Did love ever make you sing? <br /> Like an eagle on the wing! <br /> Did it ever bring your heart alive? <br /> How else can we all survive? <br /> <br />Always looking for someone else to blame, <br />Never wanting to hear my own name, <br />Then I saw the love in your eyes, <br />And that was when I stopped my lies, <br /> <br /> Did love ever make you sing? <br /> Like a an eagle on the wing! <br /> Did it ever bring your heart alive? <br /> How else can we all survive? <br /> <br />Just when I thought I was great, <br />That's when you sealed my fate, <br />Living alone and tired, <br />You alone are all I desire, <br /> <br /> Did love ever make you sing? <br /> Like a an eagle on the wing! <br /> Did it ever bring your heart alive? <br /> How else can we all survive?<br /><br />David Andre' Klopper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/from-lies-to-love/
