lyrics

LOVE SURPRISED BY WISDOM (R Williams/K Langley)
Love surprised by wisdom cannot be bought or exchanged
It springs up when you live to the full
The thing you do must be the thing that moves your
Heart and soul in many secret ways

To live, to love, to die to wanting, to breathe the air
To not die wanting to know.

A word spoken may save someone from despair – why do you keep it to yourself?
Feel the need and don’t pretend you do not see the need of another

Love surprised by wisdom cannot be bought or exchanged
It springs up when you live to the full
The thing you do must be the thing that moves your
Heart and soul in many secret ways

Invest your time – self indulgence must someday be extinguished on the altar of love

To live, to love, to breathe, to know, to love, to live, to love, to die, to live

A word spoken may save someone from despair – why do you keep it to yourself?
Feel the need and don’t pretend you do not see the need of another
Ecstasy and responsibility direct the drive that demands your attention
Remember, there is plenty for everyone
Love is close by, love is close by, love is close by
Love is in your heart

about

BABAL England, UK

One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts

the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth
