The world is a lover

The world is like a lover It brings you gifts Like the darkness and the shore

The world

is like a lover

It brings you gifts

Like the darkness and the shore

With playful teasing

it brings you pain and suffering,

and make you aching with joy

when you are lonely and depressed

Yet it loves like the moon

and the sky

Shining bright but not blind

The sun on the other hand

Is also the world

Giving the warmth and colors

For the birds and the flowers

So when the gun fired through the dark

And the rain falls on the shore

It was the world that loved and cried

to the core

Oh lover

you make me see

the path of death

so clear and bright

Oh lover

You make me weep

For the love of life

in its grace and beauty

And when you love me

I died on the hills

And then I feel

your hugs and kisses

wrapping around

infinitely

Until my body is gone

and the blood is drawn

I hear you sing

With every pain and pleasure

Words of silence

Songs of love
