Box of Love

So just yesterday,
I found this box of love
It was right outside my door
I think it came from up above

In my dreams, 
I wrap it up in bubble wrap and send it all away
It finds a pair of enemies that i think it can save

When they get it,
They'll pass it between each other
Lettin' go of lame excuses to get back at one another

Just picture it,
I see two high primates passin' the peace pipe instead of feelin' irate.
Just smilin' because days have been givin';
And pilin' up their leaves to share the lovin' with the women

But in reality,
I know this can't be done
So I took this box of love and I put it in a song
I hope one day those enemies would like to sing along
