why do we feel

the need

to put

expectations

on love

we don't need to be

(or give something)

to be deserving of

a simple

smile

or a hug

to find ourselves

acknowledged

giving what

you

want to get

back

is as good

a keeping

a

promise

the dignity

of

another

is as

precious

as gold

no matter what

you've seen

or what

you might have

been

told

it is

human nature

to crave

and desire

to belong

we're all

a part of this

chorus

a special part of

a song

so sing the things

that

you feel

shout it out

up

into the air

give a little

bit of your heart

and show

someone else

that you

care

it doesn't take money

or fame

to

discover

the best ways

to love

is

being kind

to

each other
