All That There Is

All that there is and what to give Among this crazy world in which I live Mastered the trip to being alone Let the heart go cold as a stone There I can and will be safe alas Save for the fire of all that has passed Walking along that last crooked mile Stumbling around to the tune of a smile So peaceful where the wind doesn't blow Feeling deep inside that beautiful glow All of this I have been bestowed Traversing along further down that road After all that I've seen and all that I am Something inside yearns for the touch of a man Been skipping around alone and so free Yet chained by desire and being so lonely For the One that will only love me Not just for the ride and what they can see Pray for the One who will love me like that That's the One I will love back It might be simple or it might be tough And assuredly it would never be enough To give all there is to give Among this crazy world in which I live
