and so you burned all the books <br /> that they left in your way <br />you stood face to face <br /> demanded a change <br />no more settling for less <br /> when we all love the same <br /> <br />they see you've got your style <br /> and they hear you've found your voice <br />they will put themselves on trial <br /> and all the lovers will rejoice <br /> <br />you listen to their arguments <br /> remember every word they say <br />the calvary is coming to defend <br /> you're writing out your new name <br /> <br />spelled it out this way... <br />no tolerating intolerance <br />excusing a valid choice <br />no aversion to what's obvious <br /> <br />and all the lovers can rejoice <br /> all the lovers can rejoice <br /> <br />standing side by side <br />i take your hand, <br /> you take mine <br />we all lay down our arms <br />embrace a love that never dies <br />every tear dried from every eye <br />as our love becomes our light <br /> <br />and all the lovers will rejoice <br />my song will be the same as yours <br />and we'll sing in harmony: <br /> love is love so let it be <br /> love is love so let it be <br /> let it be <br />(2008, New Orleans, LA, USA)<br /><br />Thomas Quentin Sims<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-the-lovers-will-rejoice/
